Stop Prince William County Vehicle Tax After Moving

Register the vehicle in the new state, update Virginia DMV, and give Prince William County the proof it requires to close or prorate the vehicle-tax record.

Keep each submission and final status separate

  1. 01Register in the new state

    Keep the registration showing the vehicle, owner, new jurisdiction, and effective date. The county names out-of-state registration as the required proof for a move out of Virginia.

  2. 02Update Virginia DMV

    Notify Virginia DMV of the move and vehicle record change. A county adjustment and a DMV record update are separate actions.

  3. 03Notify Prince William County

    Use the Taxpayer Portal or the current Tax Administration contact path. Give the actual move date and the new-state registration rather than only a forwarding address.

  4. 04Verify the adjusted account

    Ask for the tax-through date, proration or non-proration treatment, remaining balance, and written status. An adjustment request does not pause penalties or interest on an amount still due.
