The 0.56% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Shaw and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Washington DC average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Shaw buyers. Many Shaw properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $350/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
