That's seperate.
If you live in a county, you pay county taxes.
If you live in a town, you pay town And county taxes(total bs, should be one or the other).
And if you live in a city, you pay city taxes, or city and county depending on where you are.
Most personal property taxes are now due in June and December, or all in Dec plus 10%, it varies, it used to just be Dec, but all the greedy dumbasses who can't balance a budget want half the money mid year in most places now.
Personal property tax is on cars, bikes, rv's, houses, etc.
When you buy a vehicle in Va, you pay taxes on the value at the dmv, plus tag and title fee(or the dealer adds that to the total cost).
Then annually you pay for a sticker with the year on it to go on your license plate(the month sticker remains from the month you first got the plate), which comes with a new registration card.
You have to buy this annually, but can opt to buy a 2 or 3 year registration at a slightly cheaper price.
You also have to have an annual Va State Inspection sticker for your windshield, for $20, done at any(most) garages or dealerships, it' just a safety check(and emsissions only in Northern Va)
Bike State Inspections are $12, $16, or $20, depending on where you go(makes no sense).
And personal property tax is also due annually or split in two(June and Dec) on houses, land, rental property, etc.
I have a mortgage, and fortunately with 3.5% fixed intrest...and have my home owners insurance and annual personal property taxes included in my monthly payment.
Fortunately my payment on the house cannot increase, but the taxes and insurance do, and those two combined have caused my monthly payment to have gone up $115+ per month in about 3 1/2 years.
Bunch of crooks.
As said, can't balance a budget, so they just continue to increase taxes...and insurance companies are no better.
I do pay about $50 more a month in home owners insurance too, because I have a wood stove(never use it, but like to be able to if I want or need to), and I have a trampolene.
Wouldn't it be nice to be taxed once and done on everything...
But otherwise, cost of living here is low, and I love living in the country, away from alot of people.
This part of Va also has excellent riding, with 4 seasons and fairly mild winters.
Thanks for the detailed explanation and yes they're all crooks regardless what letter is next to their name, never occurs to them to cut wasteful spending as long as they have the power to increase taxes at will.

$250 a year taxes and tag. Considered recreational vehicle. Taxed a lot higher than a car or truck.

It's over a hundred here in Michigan and that's for one year. It's May, I imagine I will be getting a bill in the mail soon. I'm ok with it but it's much less expensive right across the river in Wisconsin where the registration is good for 2 years. Insurance is a lot cheaper in Wisconsin too. Just about anything government related is better in Wisconsin than it is in Michigan.

I thought Virginians had to pay a personal property tax on vehicles annually to renew registration that was related to the value of the vehicle.
This is true, at least in most counties. The Treasurer can put a DMV stop on your renewals if you haven't paid your PPT

Yeah, don't pay your personal property taxes and you can't renew your annual vehicle registration.
My wife got her bill in the mail today, $373 due June 5th for her '23 Toyota Rav-4, with another $373 due December 5th, or pay $710 June 5th and nothing in December.
I called them this morning because my truck bill didn't show up with it (it'll cost as much)...but I get a tax bill for the same lady yet again who apparently lived there at some point before me...and I've been there 3 1/2 years, and I've gotten it every year...this is how accurate they are...

Here, property taxes have nothing to do with the DMV. Insurance is also separate. My daughter has a ‘23 RAV4 and her renewal was just over $600. Surprised it’s cheaper than anywhere else.
