BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
PUBLIC HEARING
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Proposed New Loudoun County Ordinance – License Tax
on Owners of Certain Motor Vehicles and Penalty on
Unregistered Vehicles
ELECTION DISTRICT: Countywide
CRITICAL ACTION DATE: At the pleasure of the Board
CONTACT: Robert S. Wertz, Jr., Commissioner of the Revenue
PURPOSE: To propose a new Loudoun County Ordinance (Attachment 1) which would impose
a $100 license tax on motor vehicles that do not display current Virginia license plates without
being otherwise exempt from the requirement of displaying such license plates, and to include in
such new ordinance (Attachment 1) a penalty of $250 upon the resident owner of any motor vehicle
that, following the end of the first 60 days of the owner’s residency in Virginia, is required to
register such vehicle in Virginia but has not done so. This item brings forward an ordinance which
will assist with personal property tax enforcement efforts due to the elimination of vehicle decals
effective July 1, 2018.
RECOMMENDATION:
At the Board of Supervisors (Board) Business Meeting on June 21, 2018, the Board recommended
sending the proposed ordinance as shown as Attachment 1 to impose a $100 license tax on motor
vehicles in Loudoun and its incorporated towns that do not display current Virginia license plates
and are not otherwise exempt from the requirements of displaying such license plates, and include
the proposed draft of the ordinance as part of a future Board of Supervisors Public Hearing. The
Board further recommended sending an ordinance imposing a penalty of $250 on the resident
owner of any motor vehicle following the end of 60 days that is required for such vehicle to be
registered in Virginia but has not been registered pursuant to Va. Code § 46.2-600 and proposed
that the Commissioner of the Revenue have the authority to waive the $250 penalty if the
individual has voluntarily complied subject to a prescribed time period in the ordinance to do so.
BACKGROUND: Va. Code § 15.2-973 (Attachment 2) allows localities to adopt an ordinance
that imposes a license tax, in an amount not exceeding $100 annually, upon the owners of motor
vehicles that do not display current license plates and are not otherwise exempted from the
requirements of displaying such license plates. Loudoun County has approximately 800 vehicles

registered with the Commissioner of the Revenue that do not display Virginia license plates and
are not exempt under federal or state law. Creating a new Loudoun County ordinance to impose a
$100 license tax annually on owners of cars that are registered with the Commissioner of the
Revenue as being garaged in Loudoun County but do not display current Virginia license plates
would encourage compliance with state licensing and registration laws. If a vehicle owner chooses
not to properly license his/her vehicle with the state, which costs approximately $88.75 for the first
year including emissions testing, then the vehicle owner will be required to pay Loudoun County
a $100 license tax. Owners of vehicles without proper Virginia state license plates that are located
within Loudoun’s incorporated towns would also be subject to the additional license tax.
Va. Code § 46.2-662 (Attachment 3) specifies that in addition to any penalty authorized under
Title 46.2, any locality may adopt an ordinance imposing a penalty of up to $250 upon the resident
owner of any motor vehicle that, following the end of the first 30 days of his residency in Virginia,
is required to register such vehicle in Virginia but has not done so. The locality may impose the
penalty upon the resident owner annually for as long as the motor vehicle remains unregistered in
Virginia. The ordinance shall set forth a reasonable method for assessing and collecting the
penalty, whether by civil, criminal, or administrative process, and shall identify the employees or
agents of the locality who are to execute such assessment and collection. Fairfax County imposes
a $250 penalty in addition to the $100 license tax on out-of-state vehicles not registered in Virginia
following the end of the 30-day period in which the vehicle owner resides in Fairfax County. Since
Loudoun County allows 60 days to register in the County this penalty, if adopted, would not be
imposed until the end of the 60-day period.
On June 21, 2018, the Board recommended adopting an ordinance imposing a penalty of $250
following the end of 60 days on the resident owner of any motor vehicle that is required to be
registered in Virginia but has not been pursuant to Va. Code §46.2-600. As part of the discussion,
questions arose relative to how the Commissioner of the Revenue determines Loudoun County
residency or domicile. The Office currently utilizes the Affidavit of Domicile form (Attachment
4), among other tools, which poses questions concerning employment, voter registration, state
where income taxes are filed, state where driver’s license is issued, etc. This information assists
staff in making a domiciliary determination for residents of Loudoun County for purposes of local
personal property tax assessment.
Pursuant to Va. Code § 46.2-600 (Attachment 5), every person who owns a motor vehicle, trailer
or semitrailer, before operating it on any highway in Virginia, shall register it with the Department
of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and obtain a certificate of title; and according to Va. Code § 46.2-711
et seq. (Attachment 6) display his/her DMV-issued license plates. There are several exemptions to
the requirement to display a license plate, including Va. Code § 46.2-662, which states that a
resident owner of a car, truck, or motorcycle which is duly registered for the current calendar year
in another state or country may operate such vehicle for the first 30 days of residence in Virginia
without registering the car, truck, or motorcycle or paying any fees to the Commonwealth.
Additionally, motor vehicles solely owned by active-duty service members who are domiciled in
another state and are residing in Loudoun County due to military orders are exempt from Loudoun
County personal property taxation and Virginia licensing and registration requirements.

Unregistered Vehicles

Since Virginia’s grace period for license plate display expires after 30 days of residency, all new
residents of Loudoun County are required by law to have registered their motor vehicles with the
DMV and have obtained Virginia license plates within 30 days of moving their vehicle into the
County. There are many residents who have registered their vehicles with the Commissioner of
the Revenue and have been living in Loudoun for more than 30 days who have not obtained
Virginia license plates for their vehicles despite having taxable situs in Loudoun County. Many of
the vehicles reported to the Compliance Division of the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office do
not currently display current Virginia license plates, without being otherwise exempt from such
requirement. Minimal additional effort will be required for the Commissioner of the Revenue’s
Office staff to identify vehicles that are garaged in Loudoun County and are already on the
County's tax rolls but do not display current Virginia license plates, without being exempt.
However, functionality to support the $100 license tax and $250.00 penalty would need to be
incorporated into the County’s tax assessment system. This county’s tax assessment software
vendor is presently working on software to implement these fees in conjunction with modifications
for town personal property tax billing effective January 1, 2020.
The ultimate goal of this ordinance is to encourage compliance with state licensing and registration
laws, thus making it easier to track these vehicles for personal property tax purposes in Loudoun
County. The first-year cost to a vehicle owner to register a vehicle with the DMV, assuming he/she
can show sales and use tax was paid on a particular vehicle in another state, is approximately
$60.75 and breaks down as follows: $45.75 annual vehicle registration fee, and $15.00 one-time
titling fee. In addition, a $28 bi-annual fee is paid to an emissions testing station. It is less costly
for a vehicle owner to comply with state registration requirements than pay the $100.00, and if
applicable the $250.00 penalty.
This ordinance change is expected to have a small positive impact on General Fund revenue,
potentially $80,000 in the first year. This revenue would likely decrease in successive years as
most vehicle owners are expected to comply with the State’s licensing requirements and purchase
Virginia license plates from the DMV and avoid payment of the $100 tax. Assuming that the
license tax would meet its goal of encouraging compliance with state licensing and registration
requirements, then most of the benefits of this new ordinance would accrue to the state in the form
of greater state registration revenues. However, Loudoun would benefit since vehicles registered
with the DMV are easier to track for personal property tax purposes. Similar ordinances were
enacted several years ago in Fairfax County and in Arlington County.
ISSUES: Should a Loudoun County ordinance be adopted which imposes an annual license tax of
$100 pursuant to Va. Code § 15.2-973 upon the owners of motor vehicles that do not display
current Virginia license plates and are not otherwise exempted from such license plate
requirements? The Commissioner of Revenue believes that this requirement will assist in the local
personal property enforcement effort. Additionally, should the Board adopt an ordinance imposing
a penalty of $250 on the resident owner of any motor vehicle following the end of 60 days that is
required to be registered in Virginia but has not been registered pursuant to Virginia Code §46.2-
600? When should the ordinance(s) take effect? Staff believes an effective date of January 1, 2020

will allow adequate time for our tax assessment software vendor to reconfigure the County's tax
assessment system to include the motor vehicle license tax and the penalty and to test the
reconfiguration.
FISCAL IMPACT: The revenue that would be generated from the imposition of this $100 license
tax is uncertain, but is expected to be approximately $80,000 in the first year based on 800 vehicles.
If the Board chooses to adopt an ordinance imposing an additional $250 penalty annually on
resident owners who fail to register a motor vehicle in Virginia after 60-days of residence in
Loudoun, the expected revenue could potentially be closer to $280,000. No additional FTEs will
be required since two Personal Property Tax Compliance positions were previously approved by
the Board of Supervisors for FY 2019 in order to assist with personal property tax enforcement
efforts due to the elimination of vehicle decals effective July 1, 2018.
ALTERNATIVES: The Board may choose to adopt the proposed Loudoun County Ordinance
which imposes a $100 license tax annually upon the owners of motor vehicles which do not display
current license plates and/or adopt an ordinance imposing a penalty of up to $250 upon the resident
owner of any motor vehicle that, following the end of the 60-day period of residence in Loudoun,
fails to register the vehicle in Virginia.

XXX.01 LICENSE TAX ON OWNERS OF CERTAIN MOTOR VEHICLES
A license tax of one hundred dollars ($100.00) annually shall be imposed upon the owners of motor
vehicles that do not display current Virginia license plates and that are not exempted from the
requirements of displaying such license plates under the provisions of Article 6 (§ 46.2-662 et seq.)
of Chapter 6 of Title 46.2, §§ 46.2-1554 and 46.2-1555, are not in a public dump, in an "automobile
graveyard" as defined in § 33.2-804, or in the possession of a licensed junk dealer or licensed
motor vehicle dealer. Nothing in this section shall be applicable to any vehicle being held or stored
by or at the direction of any governmental authority, to any vehicle owned by a member of the
armed forces on active duty or to any vehicle regularly stored within a structure. Such ordinance
shall exempt from such tax any vehicle being held or stored on private property for the purpose of
restoration or repair or for removing parts for the repair of another vehicle.
The tax authorized under this section shall be assessed, billed, and collected under the same
schedule and using the same process as the assessment and billing of personal property taxes;
except that, the license tax authorized by this section shall be a flat tax, not otherwise subject to
proration. The entire $100 flat tax shall be charged for any year, or for any part of a year, in which
the vehicle has been determined to have taxable situs in Loudoun County and in which the vehicle
does not otherwise display required Virginia license plates in accordance with Title 46.2 of the Va.
Code. No refund or proration of this tax shall occur in the year in which a vehicle comes into
compliance and first registers the vehicle with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and
displays a current Virginia license plate.
Attachment 1
XXX.02 PENALTY ON UNREGISTERED VEHICLES
A penalty of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) shall be imposed upon the resident owner of any
motor vehicle that, following the end of the first 60 days of residency in the Commonwealth has
not registered such vehicle in Virginia. The penalty shall be imposed upon the resident owner
annually for as long as the motor vehicle remains unregistered in Virginia. Since Loudoun County
Ordinance 860.04 allows a resident owner 60 days from the date situs is acquired to file vehicle
personal property such penalty will not be imposed until after the end of the 60-day residency
period.
Each penalty levied pursuant to this section shall be in addition to the $100 motor vehicle license
tax imposed under Section XXX.01. The penalty shall be assessed by the Commissioner of the
Revenue and collected by the Treasurer in the same manner as the motor vehicle license tax
imposed under Section XXX.01.
The Commissioner of the Revenue or his designee, may waive the penalty authorized by this
section if the owner of the vehicle voluntarily registers it in Virginia within 60 days after the end
of the 60-day residency period.
