| If I've had my car in Arlington, Virginia for the full year and my car is worth around $37,000 how do I find out how much my vhicle personal property tax is going to total? |

The rate is 5% but the following exemptions apply for a standard fuel vehicle
A 100 percent tax relief on the first $3,000 of the vehicle's value A 24 percent tax relief on the next $17,000 of the vehicles value, from $3,001-$20,000 No tax relief for the portion of a vehicle's assessed value over $20,000 $3000 - $0 $3001 to $20000 - $646 $ 20001 to $37000 - $850 Total tax $1496 Last year they marked down the valuations since old cars actually went up in book value, no idea if they will do that again. |

My car was worth about 30k last year and I want to say I paid around $800-900. |

This was after the tax relief. |

| Wow! Didn’t realize this - I wonder if this year there will be some sort of tax relief. I just moved to Arlington and have a new car that is probably worth around $37k. Oof! |

Yes, yes it is. You pay sales tax when you buy the car and YEARLY for "personal property tax." VA is a huge rip off state and don't belive anyone who says it's not. Don't even get me started on the milage tax! |

Yeah I agree with this. Each of my cars are like $900 every 6 months. Not luxury cars either, just Honda/Mazda level. |

Why would there be any sort of tax relief? You're the one who chose that car instead of a 10 year old 5k beater. (I don't agree with car tax at all) |

| I'd vote for whichever governor who pledges to get rid of car tax. Or makes it more level. Half the cars in my neighborhood have out of state plates to avoid paying car tax (and no, they're not military). Car tax is ridiculously high and yet they make it so easy to get around it. |

It's not as if when you move to a new county or even state you always are aware of car tax. Not all areas have it. Because someone picked a new car and one that is probably better for the environment doesn't mean they should have to pay more for a car tax. It doesn't make any sense. |

What is the milage tax? People talk about MD being bad, I think VA sounds worse. Hahaha |

Same here - I have a Nissan and for 6 months last year it was $850. |

| Is it an option to pay this every six months instead of all at once. That is really high. I guess if you live in the area you know it's coming but OMG. |
