Real Estate Weekly published the wrong average real-estate

assessment rate for Hampton Roads cities in an article on housing

developments in North Carolina. The correct rates per $100 of

assessed property value are $1.26 or $1.28 in Chesapeake, $1.40 in

Norfolk, $1.436 in Portsmouth, $1.22 in Virginia Beach and $1.03,

$1.21 or $1.22 in Suffolk. by CNB
