2024 Update to Prorating Locality
As of Jan. 1, 2024, King George County will be prorating personal property taxes to include motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers. Proration allows residents to only pay for personal property taxes for the duration of their residency, as well as the duration of ownership, in King George County in a given calendar year. The proration bills will be sent as usual in residents’ June and December tax bills, reflecting the months in which the residents owned personal property in King George County. Additionally, the vehicle license fee has been repealed. In past years, this fee was applied annually to residents’ tax bills in the amount of $23 for private passenger vehicles, $18 for motorcycles, and $7.50 for trailer and semi-trailer. This fee will no longer be applied to residents' tax bills as of 2024. County stickers are still available for pick up from the commissioner of the revenue’s office, which allow you to use the Sealston and Purkins’ Corner Convenience Centers.
