PSA: How to report "car tax" evasion (ie, theft from the rest of us who pay our property taxes)

Anonymous
Report the people you strongly believe are evading paying VA car tax. Ie, having Maryland plates but living in VA. When they don't pay, the rest of us have to pay more. Please please please report the tax evasion in your neighborhood!

It should be "suspected tax evasion" because you really have no idea why someone might have MD plates and live in VA.

Maybe they don't own a car and are borrowing one. Maybe it's a rental because their car is in the shop. Maybe they only rent cars because owning one is too expensive.

And if they’re military they can keep their residency in a state where they lived previously. Texas and Alaska are popular ones to keep.

Sure. But report and let enforcement check it out to confirm,. For Maryland plates, the vast majority are tax evaders. You don't "borrow" a car for 2 months. Wherever it's parked, is where it need to be registered and insured.

I have neighbors with Maryland plates that have been parking on the street for nearly five years. I’m confident they aren’t borrowing or renting those cars.

Most are military and never have to pay.

That tax shouldn't exist.

State chooses to allow non-local plates.

Best method is to draft a thorough explanation of your evidence—names, dates, license plate numbers, etc.—print it along with any photographic evidence you may have, put it in a certified mail envelope and shove it up your a$$.

Some of you really peaked at elementary school crossing guard.

I’ll be sure to file this under things I didn’t ask for nor do I DAF about. But you’re free to report away Gladys.

Fun story: I once almost got my car towed bc a neighbor reported my out of state plates. The car was originally my dad's and he couldn't transfer the title bc he was in the middle of negotiating a divorce.

So yeah 100 percent, mind your own business.

It is our business when people cheat on their taxes. I hope everyone reports these cheaters.

OP,

Most people aren't that petty and punitive that they would take time out of their busy day to put together an accusatory file on their neighbors. Especially if it means attacking military families.

I have no dog in this fight (MD plates living in MD), but really... you sound unhealthily obsessed.

Is this how your mind usually works? You go down the rabbit hole regularly for various misbehaviors and exhort people to report others?
