Vehicle Decals Eliminated For Most Fairfax City Taxpayers

Press release from the City of Fairfax:

07/30/2020

Due to a recent ordinance change, Fairfax City is no longer issuing vehicle decals to most city personal property taxpayers.

The city now will issue decals only for vehicles registered at addresses in Residential Parking Permit Districts, where on-street parking is difficult due to high volumes of non-resident vehicles. The decals will help identify vehicles garaged in those areas.

The change was implemented when City Council enacted an ordinance on July 28 that eliminated the requirement for all vehicles to display decals when garaged in the city.

In the past, decals served as a visual check and enforcement tool. However, the use of other electronic discovery measures have replaced the need for decals for that purpose.

Taxpayers will receive their bills in mid-August, and payment is due October 5. Late payments will incur a 10 percent penalty plus interest.
