New / Public hearing proposal · September 23, 2026
MCC's hearing presentation proposes a budget for July 1, 2027–June 30, 2028. This is a proposal, not an adopted County budget; the document does not establish subsequent approval. It is kept separate from the adopted history and actual spending below.
The presentation uses 2.3¢ per $100 of assessed value and projects $7,180,000 in tax revenue. Payroll and operating expenses match revenue, but capital and vehicle allocations produce the reported $93,000 overall shortfall. Senior programming is separated from instructional programming; marketing-related costs are centralized. Those classification changes matter when comparing programs.
Source: PDF pages 4 (revenue), 7–8 (expenses), and 21 (fund balance). Select “Proposed” in the explorer for line details and CSV export. One proposed year is available; no proposed-year trend can yet be established.

Start here / Your property tax
MCC is funded primarily by an additional real estate tax on properties inside its special tax district. It is not a voluntary donation, a membership fee, or a charge based on how often you use the center.
The levy applies to taxable residential and commercial real estate in Small District 1A, Dranesville—the MCC Tax District. A McLean mailing address alone does not establish whether a property is included. Check the parcel's county tax district and applicable rates. The tax is levied on the property, not separately on each person living there.

Fairfax County assesses real estate annually at estimated fair market value as of January 1. Use the County's assessed value, not your mortgage balance or an online home-price estimate. The FY 2027 adopted MCC budget lists $0.023 per $100 of assessed value. That is 2.3 cents per $100, or 0.023%—not 2.3%. The County's tax-rate table also lists $0.023 for tax year 2026.
The MCC levy is in addition to the County's base real estate tax and any other applicable district levies. It is a property-tax charge, not a separate MCC membership invoice. Check your assessment notice, real estate tax details, and tax bill for the applicable district charges. You pay it even if you do not attend MCC programs. Renters do not receive a separate per-resident MCC tax bill; the levy attaches to the property.
MCC's Governing Board reviews and adopts a budget proposal for approval by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors sets the tax rate; the County's Department of Tax Administration handles tax billing and collection. County real estate taxes are generally due in two installments, July 28 and December 5. Follow the dates and amounts on your actual bill.
Sources checked October 26, 2026. Rates and individual circumstances can change. See the linked official records for the applicable year.
A proposed budget is a request, not final approval. An original adopted budget is the approved plan before a fiscal year starts. An actual is what was reported after the year closed. The trend keeps the selected historical series separate from its orange FY 2028 proposed marker. The same-year comparison below explicitly places the original adopted plan beside actual results.
Figures are nominal dollars for Fairfax County Fund 40060, fiscal years July to June. Missing lines stay missing; they are not treated as zero.

Difference = actual − original adopted. Amounts are nominal US dollars, not inflation-adjusted. Percentage = difference ÷ absolute original adopted × 100. A positive difference means a higher reported amount, not necessarily a favorable or unfavorable result.
Not an overrun test: original capital appropriations can be revised and carried forward across years. Actual spending can therefore exceed the original plan, including a zero capital appropriation, without establishing an overrun. This is not a comparison with the final revised budget.
— means not reported, not zero; no difference is calculated unless both values are published. N/A means the percentage is undefined because the original adopted value is zero. Cost centers and capital detail are alternate breakdowns, not additional spending; balances are not annual flows. The tax rate is excluded from this dollar comparison.
Published categories can change or be reclassified; matching names do not guarantee unchanged scope. See the source labels linked from each amount and the methodology notes below, including the FY 2017 revenue reclassification.

Method
Original adopted is the plan approved before the year began. Actual is what the County later reported for that year, taken from the Actual column of the budget book published two fiscal years later (FY 2018 actuals come from the FY 2020 book). Proposed FY 2028 comes from MCC's September 23, 2026 public-hearing presentation; it is not evidence of final approval. Historical series, the full table and CSVs remain single-basis. The trend can also show a separate orange FY 2028 proposed point, without joining it to the historical line or calculating a cross-basis change. The explicitly labeled same-fiscal-year comparison pairs original adopted and actual records.
All amounts are nominal US dollars, with no inflation adjustment. Fiscal years run July 1 through June 30. The tax rate is shown in dollars per $100 of assessed value, to three decimals.
This covers Original adopted budgets FY 2014–FY 2027; Actuals FY 2012–FY 2025; Proposed (not adopted) FY 2028. It is not a complete MCC history and not an internal account ledger. Cost centers and capital project detail are alternate breakdowns of the same expenditures, not extra spending. Reserves and balances are money held, not revenue.
Official-source inconsistency explained: in the FY 2024 budget book, the published FY 2022 actual revenue line items sum to $5,997,299, but the reported Total Revenue is $6,028,412, a difference of $31,113. Fairfax County’s FY 2022 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, Exhibit D-2m, reports $31,113 in actual “Gifts, donations, and contributions” for the McLean Community Center Fund. That category is absent from the budget book’s Fund Statement and accounts exactly for the difference. The original published lines and total remain unchanged here; no amount has been added to a category.
The nine FY 2022 revenue lines total $5,997,299; Total Revenue is $6,028,412. Footnote 1 describes a separate $550 decrease in expenditures.
MCC Fund actual revenue (budget basis): Charges for services $5,941,022; Revenue from the use of money and property $56,277; Gifts, donations, and contributions $31,113; Total revenues $6,028,412. The first two amounts sum to $5,997,299; adding the third reconciles the total. The special revenue funds combining statement, printed p. 202 (PDF p. 246), also reports the $31,113 category and $6,028,412 total for MCC.
Fund 40060 has a $550 expenditure decrease “To accurately record expenditure accrual,” increasing fund balance by $550. Its revenue column is blank. This entry is not a $31,113 revenue correction or reclassification.
This draft FY 2024 presentation reports FY 2022 actual Total Revenue of $6,028,412, corroborating the total. Its program and miscellaneous groupings differ from the County Fund Statement; it does not separately label the $31,113 category and is not used to assign that amount.
The cited records establish the revenue category, not the donor, purpose, restrictions, or reason the category was omitted from the budget table. This presentation difference is not evidence of wrongdoing.

Fairfax County Fund 40060 · checked 2026-10-26
Across FY2018–FY2025, FY2022 is the only budget-table revenue-line sum that differs from its reported total: $31,113, explicitly reported as Gifts, donations, and contributions in the ACFR. FY2020 also has an ACFR category not separately named in the budget table: Recovered costs, $448,408; its budget lines and total nevertheless reconcile. FY2025 has a separate $2 difference between the two published totals, not an established omitted category. No other omitted-category gap was established in this review.
FY2018–FY2025 actual revenue only, McLean Community Center Fund (Fairfax County Fund 40060). Compare each budget book's Actual column with the same fiscal year's ACFR/CAFR Budgetary Comparison Schedule, Actual Amounts (Budget Basis), not the original or final budget columns.
Original budget-book values remain unchanged; ACFR figures are comparison evidence, not replacements or backfilled categories. Matching totals do not establish a category-level crosswalk. In particular, do not assign Recovered costs to Miscellaneous Income or infer a missing amount from the FY2025 difference. These records do not establish donors, purposes, restrictions, reasons for presentation differences, or wrongdoing. This is not a transaction-level audit, and no years before FY2018 are covered.

Open a year for the original revenue lines, financial-report categories, and direct page citations. A zero difference is not proof of equivalent classifications.
The ten published budget revenue lines sum to $5,567,532, matching both published totals. The financial report uses two broader revenue categories; matching totals alone do not verify a line-by-line mapping.
The eleven published budget revenue lines, including Gift Donations at $0, sum to $5,849,756, matching both totals. No additional separately named financial-report category appears beyond the two broad categories.
The financial report explicitly reports Recovered costs of $448,408. The budget table has no separately named Recovered costs line; it reports Gift Donations of $25,000 and Miscellaneous Income of $461,678 among its eleven lines. Those lines sum to $6,320,249, matching both totals. The cited schedules do not provide an explicit crosswalk assigning Recovered costs to Miscellaneous Income, so no amount is reclassified or added.
The ten published budget revenue lines sum to $5,278,962, matching both totals. The ACFR reports two broad revenue categories; it does not separately report gifts or recovered costs in this fund schedule.
The nine budget lines sum to $5,997,299, while both sources report total revenue of $6,028,412. The ACFR explicitly reports $31,113 in Gifts, donations, and contributions, absent from the budget table; its other two categories sum to $5,997,299. This confirms the previously documented omission without changing the original data.
The nine published budget revenue lines sum to $6,889,103, matching both totals. The ACFR reports two broad revenue categories, with no additional separately named category in this fund schedule.
The nine published budget revenue lines sum to $7,599,098, matching both totals. The ACFR reports two broad revenue categories, with no additional separately named category in this fund schedule.
The nine budget revenue lines sum to the budget's $7,989,202 total. The ACFR explicitly reports Charges for services of $7,667,842 and Revenue from the use of money and property of $321,362, totaling $7,989,204: $2 higher. No additional revenue category is separately reported in this schedule. The cited records do not establish the cause; this is not treated as an omitted category, and the budget total remains $7,989,202.
Checked 2026-10-26. Original budget data, charts, and CSV value cells are unchanged; actual CSVs include the relevant years’ reconciliation notes.

Field guide
Open questions
Which fiscal year does each document cover, and is it proposed, adopted, or actual?
Mixing these up is the most common source of confusion in public budget discussions.
How is revenue raised, and what share comes from the tax district versus program fees or other sources?
Knowing the mix tells you who is effectively paying for which activities.
How is spending categorized, and have the categories stayed consistent year to year?
Category changes can make honest comparisons look like increases or cuts.
What is held in reserve, and what written policy guides it?
A clear reserve policy helps residents judge whether the amount is reasonable.
How are capital projects approved, tracked, and reported when complete?
Multi-year projects are easy to lose track of between budget cycles.
Where and when can residents comment on a budget before it is adopted?
The most useful feedback arrives before decisions are final.
Who reviews the budget beyond the center itself, and what does that review cover?
Understanding the oversight chain clarifies who to ask about what.

Each figure above links to its Fairfax County budget book. For everything else, start here.
MCC's September 23, 2026 public-hearing presentation proposes $8,572,000 in revenue and $8,572,000 in payroll and operating expenses for FY2028 (July 1, 2027–June 30, 2028). Payroll and operating expenses exclude capital and vehicle allocations. The presentation reports a $93,000 overall shortfall. These are proposed figures, not evidence of final adoption or actual results.
At Fairfax County's documented 2026 MCC rate of $0.023 per $100 of assessed value, divide the County assessed value by 100 and multiply by $0.023. A $1,000,000 assessment produces an annual MCC portion of $230 before exemptions or relief. This is an additional district levy, not the total property-tax bill.
No. A McLean mailing address alone does not establish MCC tax-district membership. The levy applies to taxable real estate in Small District 1A, Dranesville—the MCC Tax District. Verify the parcel's County tax district and applicable tax-year rates before estimating its levy.
A proposed budget is a request before final approval. An original adopted budget is the approved plan before the fiscal year begins. Actual results are amounts reported after the year closes. MCC Levy Watch keeps these bases distinct and does not treat missing figures as zero or calculate a historical growth rate by joining a proposal to actual results.
