Should I report my neighbors for car tax evasion?

I've had the opposite experience. Parking enforcement will come out within 24 hours and check out the vehicle and its registration.

I have zero issues reporting people who steal.

Not on private property. It has to be parked on the street.

My daughter got waitlisted and it pissed me off to no end that her crappy classmate got a spot when mine didint. So I called the school (anonymously) and told on her.

UVA pulled back her offer. Mine never got in but I'm sure whoever did get off the waitlist was more deserving than her drunk classmate.

Good on you OP!

I bet the girl was prettier, more popular, and more athletic than your daughter, too.

Sounds like you’re mad that your spawn wasn’t even as good as some crappy teenage drunk.

+1. You never know. The person who replaced her could be a drug addict who steals.

If they live in a rental and drive 2 cars with expired tags they are shady and likely do other shady stuff too. Call landlord.

Your neighbors think you’re a sucker for paying, OP.

They probably don't have any ill thoughts of her, yet.

One has a car with Wisconsin plates. One with California plates. I suppose they could be exempt but we live in Western Loudoun so I doubt they work on the Hill or are in the military.

I ended up behind the car with California plates today at a stop sign as we both pulled out of our driveways at the same time. The plates expired in June 2024.

I am normally a live and let live person, but tax avoidance costs everyone more. Would you report this if you were in my shoes? I am trying to decide…

Sheesh, many people live paycheck to paycheck. They probably can't afford the high Virginia car tax.

I've lived in Virginia for 25 years and have no problem paying the car tax. The secret is to own reasonably-priced cars rather than the latest Tesla.

Don't be that neighbor. How miserable must your life be to devolve to this level of pettiness.

+1 million. You are the worst kind of person (and justifying this through ethics, as if you are a much better person than them??) Gross.

I would just live and let live. But you can do whatever you think is best.

I lived in a state where people would wait months or years to get permanent license plates after new car purchases. I would see Ferrari’s and cars of that caliber in the parking lot with paper plates knowing that they were dodging taxes. I reported this. Their behavior is the problem, OP. Not yours.

Your post makes me completley understand their decision to keep to themselves. My goodness, mind your business, busybody.

Yes, 100% would report this.

LOL, sure it does, Karen

Everyone shouldn't pay taxes if they don't want to.

Explain how someone not paying the money grab personal property tax on their vehicle literally costs you more.

Taxes go up for those that are dumb enough to keep paying. Services are cut that others need.
