LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — Loudoun County’s Commissioner of Revenue office is asking county residents to verify their vehicle information online for 2022 personal property reporting requirements.

Residents should report an address change, the sale or disposal of a vehicle, or unusually high mileage as well as unrepaired body damage or serious mechanical defect since these factors may affect the property’s valuation, the office said.

The Loudoun Commissioner of the Revenue, Robert Wertz Jr., is requesting that all changes be submitted by Feb. 15 to assist in establishing accurate assessments for the 2022 tax year.

The online process allows residents to review and update information on the more than 375,000 vehicles now located in the county, the office said.

Residents can access their personal property information online at loudoun.gov/efile by using their social security or tax identification number, mailing address ZIP code and unique account number, which is displayed on the notice. Residents may receive more than one notice depending on how their property is owned or registered.

To avoid late filing penalties, newly acquired vehicles or those recently entering Loudoun County must be reported to the Commissioner of the Revenue within 60 days of purchase or move to Loudoun County or one of Loudoun County’s incorporated towns. Owners of vehicles in the county are subject to taxes beginning on the date the vehicle came to Loudoun, even if the vehicle displays out-of-state license plates.

Owners of vehicles displaying out-of-state license plates who are not otherwise exempt from obtaining Virginia license plates will be charged an additional annual license fee of $100. A $250 penalty may also be imposed on owners of vehicles that are not registered with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles within 60 days of the owner having established residency in Virginia.

For more information or filing assistance, visit.loudoun.gov/com or contact the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue at cartax@loudoun.gov or 703-777-0260. Regular office hours are weekdays, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
