Personal Property Tax - Filing Information
Filing Procedures
All vehicles must first be registered with the Department
of Motor Vehicles. Vehicle owners, lessees, and purchasers
of new vehicles must register their vehicles with the Commissioner
of Revenue within 90 days of moving to Chesterfield County or
the purchase of vehicle. All vehicles are taxable based on ownership.
Personal Property taxes on motor vehicles are prorated on a monthly
basis, while mobile homes are not. For questions regarding mobile
homes, please contact the Commissioner of the Revenue at 748-1281.
Deadlines
Personal Property tax returns must be filed on or before March
1 of each year. Taxes are to be paid by the due date to avoid penalties
and interest.
Penalties
Failure to register your vehicle(s) with Chesterfield County
Commissioner of the Revenue will result in a late filing penalty
of 10% and interest. |
