Property Taxes

Bob64 · 05-10-2007, 04:22 AM

Well, since this <strike>forum</strike> section is sorta dead, I might as well stick some feelers and try to strike up some action

Anyway, I'm trying to predict/plan my budget for the next year, anyone have an idea as to how much a new 2007 prius package 2 will ring up in property taxes in northern virginia (after the car tax relief bill)?

My bill came to about $300. I'm not sure if jurisdictions charge different rates but this was in Chesterfield County.

I don't know why you say this forum is sorta dead. When you log on go to "View All New Posts". There is a lot of activity on the site.

<strike>.62/$100 in Spotsylvania County</strike> Opps that was for real estate. The property tax for the car was $193 for Spotsylvania County.

I too am in Chesterfield, which has a rate of $3.60 per $100 assessed value. I don't have this year's bill in front of me, but I think it's in the neighborhood of $260 for my 2005.

Yours will be considerably higher than ours. First, your tax rate is higher. Not knowing whether you're in Fairfax City or County, I looked them both up: The City's rate is $3.79, and the County's is $4.57 (ugh!). Second, of course, your car is newer and its assessment higher. Finally, Virginia's car tax relief applies only to the first $20,000 of a qualifying vehicle (which the Prius is unless used for business). In other words, you pay the reduced tax on the first $20K, and the full tax on the rest. I suspect the assessed value of your 2007 will be above that threshold.

EDIT: Duh, you said in the thread's title you're in Fairfax County. I'm a little slow sometimes.

Don't know about Fairfax, but Arlington just passed a property tax discount for clean-fuel vehicles -- no tax on the first $20,000. Perhaps you could suggest to your local officials that Fairfax adopt a similar measure.

I live in Fairfax County. I don't remember the exact number, but the tax on my 2006 Package #6 (equivalent to 2007 Package #4) was somewhere under $300.

...So I see these various Prius gatherings, clubs, etc., around the country (mentioned here in the forums on PC)---but never anything for No. VA? Any out there?

Christo, you might consider posting a new thread. Those interested in or sponsoring meetups might not look in a thread on taxes.

Regardless, you're welcome to play with us folks in the Richmond area if you don't mind driving a couple hours. See this thread for details on our last one and survey of participants for dates of preference for the next one in the fall.
