What Poquoson sellers
should know
-
Most of the city sits below 7 feet
Poquoson says most of the city is less than 7 feet above mean sea level, with severe floods in 1933, 1962, 1998 and 2003, and that most flooding comes from unnamed low-pressure systems rather than hurricanes. To check a property's zone, ask the city's Building Official or use the flood material at the library. A new flood policy takes 30 days to start, which a buyer needs to know when setting a closing date.
-
Tax relief is filed every year by August 1
Residents 65 or over and certain disabled persons may qualify for an exemption or deferral of real estate tax, based on income and assets other than the home. The application goes to the Commissioner of the Revenue (757-868-3020) each year by August 1. If relief or a deferral is on your account, ask that office how a sale affects it.
-
Much of the housing is over 40 years old
The city's comprehensive plan says about 45% of homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s and that, with new construction slowing, upkeep of existing homes matters more. Maintenance and flood-proofing records help buyers here.
