9. What personal property tax is prorated?

Taxes on all personal use motor vehicles--automobiles, boats, trucks, motorcycles, campers, motorized recreation vehicles, and trailers (not mobile homes)--are prorated.

10. What personal property tax is not prorated?

Airplanes, mobile homes and business personal property are not prorated.

11. How does the proration of personal property tax work?

Proration is based on two essential elements:

1. The property's value
2. The number of months in a calendar year such property is located in Dinwiddie County.

A vehicle has situs for taxation in the county if it is garaged, parked, or stored in the county, or if it is registered to a county address with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. If the vehicle has situs for taxation in the county for a period of less than a full year, your tax liability would (under most circumstances) be reduced. The county determines the tax by first multiplying the vehicle's assessed value by the portion of the year the vehicle has situs in the county. Proration is done using full month increments, and a taxpayer is liable for a full month's tax if the vehicle has situs in the county for more than half the month. The county then multiplies this prorated amount by the tax rate to determine the tax.

12. If I moved taxable personal property out of Dinwiddie County or sell it during the tax year, am I eligible for a refund of personal property taxes already paid?

If you sell, or relocate your motor vehicle from Dinwiddie County to another prorating locality, the Dinwiddie County tax may be prorated upon notification to the Commissioner of the Revenue. You may then be eligible for a refund of any taxes paid for that portion of the remaining year if proof of registration in another prorating locality is provided.

However, if you move the property to a non-prorating locality in Virginia, the full year's tax is payable to Dinwiddie County. No refund will be issued, since your liability to the non-prorating locality begins January 1 of the next year.

Additionally, if you move your vehicle to a state other than Virginia, Virginia State Code Section 58.1-3511 specifies that “the situs for vehicles with a weight of 10,000 pounds or less registered in Virginia but normally garaged, docked or parked in another state shall be the locality in Virginia where registered.” Your vehicle account will be prorated as of the date your vehicle is registered in another state or when it is no longer actively registered in Virginia.

13. What is the date business personal property, mobile homes, and airplanes must be filed?

Business Personal property, mobile homes and/or airpalnes must be filed by February 15 each year with the Commissioner of Revenue's Office. If you have any questions, call (804) 469-4500, option 4.

14. What type of property is taxable?

Taxable personal property consists of motor vehicles, trailers, campers, mobile homes, boats, airplanes and business personal property. You are required to file a personal property return with the Commissioner of the Revenue within 30 days of acquiring or bringing such property into Dinwiddie County. This applies to all vehicles owned by individuals or businesses, whether titled in Virginia or out of state.

15. Is it possible for the assessed value of my vehicle to be higher this year than it was last year?

Yes. Virginia State Code requires that all Virginia localities value tangible personal property as of a fixed date. This date, often referred to as “tax day," is January 1, regardless of when a vehicle may have been purchased or located in Dinwiddie County.
Dinwiddie County uses publications from The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) as the primary valuation guides for personal property assessment purposes, as do all 134 cities and counties in Virginia. In arriving at the used vehicle values published in its valuation guides, NADA collects and analyzes over half a million auto-related transactions per month, including both wholesale and retail sales. NADA collects its data from a number of sources, including automobile manufacturers, new and used vehicle dealers and over 165 automobile auctions nationwide. Additionally, NADA considers economic trends, geographic location, weather and environmental factors in the analysis of its automobile valuation data.
Due to various market factors, values for some vehicles may be higher as of January 1 of the current year than they were on January 1 of the previous year. This rise in vehicle value may be due to increased demand or diminished supply for a particular vehicle model or vehicle type, gas price fluctuations or other factors affecting vehicle sales, such as government or manufacturer incentives.

16. Does a new car manufacturer’s rebate reduce the original cost basis of a new vehicle for purposes of personal property tax assessment?

No. The local tax on tangible personal property is not a sales tax but a tax on the actual fair market value of property. If the preferred means of establishing the actual fair market value of a vehicle cannot be used (i.e., the clean loan value of the model and year of the individual vehicle are not listed in the recognized pricing guide), the taxpayer may present the Commissioner of the Revenue proof of original cost which may be used as an alternative basis of assessment. Such proof may consist of the new vehicle sales contract or purchase order which clearly shows the total purchase price upon which the motor vehicle sales and use tax was calculated.

Although the balance due on delivery may be reduced by credits for trade-ins, unpaid liens or encumbrances, manufacturers' rebates or dealer discounts, the total purchase price or original cost for purposes of the motor vehicle sales and use tax and personal property tax is not reduced by such amounts.

17. If I disagree with the county's assessment of my property, how can the value be changed?

The county assesses personal property on the assumption that it is in fair condition for its age. The vehicle owner can request a review of the assessment if a vehicle is not in average condition as of January 1 of the tax year because of high mileage, extensive un-repaired body damage or serious mechanical defects. This does not include normal wear and tear on tires, seals, battery, gaskets, pumps, hoses, belts, brake system, cooling system, electrical and ignition system, fuel system, exhaust system and front-end parts. Appealing your assessment does not guarantee that it will be reduced. If your appeal is for high mileage, please submit a copy of the latest safety inspection slip, vehicle repair or similar documentation which shows the mileage. You may submit your January 1 mileage online by February 15 each year if you wish to have high mileage considered in the annual assessment process.

For extensive un-repaired body damage or serious mechanical defects, please submit an itemized estimate from an automobile repair facility on business letterhead detailing the extent of damage and the cost to repair the vehicle. Other acceptable documentation would be a copy of an insurance company estimate describing the condition and cost to repair the damage. It must be clear from the documents provided that the condition existed on January 1 of the tax year.

All appeals must be received by December 31 of the tax year being appealed. Appeals are reviewed in the order received. Please allow up to 60 days for processing. The tax bill is still required to be paid by the respective due date. If the assessment is later reduced as a result of the appeal, the county will issue a tax refund. The Commissioner recommends that, to avoid a late payment penalty, you pay your bill in full, have the assessment corrected, then receive a refund based on the corrected assessment.

18. How are antique motor vehicles assessed?

Dinwiddie’s local ordinance exempts from local taxation as household goods, personal effects, and antique motor vehicles, as defined in Section 46.2-100 of the Code of Virginia as amended, which are not used for general transportation purposes.

19. What is unusually high mileage?

Commonwealth's Attorney

Show All Answers

1. What is the difference between the Commonwealth's Attorney and the County Attorney?

The Commonwealth's Attorney's Office prosecutes all criminal and traffic cases occurring within Dinwiddie County. They prosecute the most serious crimes known as felonies, including murder, rape and robbery. They also prosecute misdemeanors and violations of local ordinances, including some traffic offenses.

The County Attorney's Office provides counsel and advice in all civil matters to the Board of County Supervisors and all boards, commissions, departments, agencies, offices and officials of the general County government.

2. Can I drop charges that have already been filed?

No. Once charges have been filed, either by a law enforcement officer or citizen by way of sworn citizen's criminal complaint, charges cannot be dropped.

3. Can the Commonweath's Attorney give me legal advice about private legal matters?

No. We are prohibited from giving legal advice regarding a case you have or are thinking about pursuing. A private attorney can give you that kind of legal advice. This Office is not legally permitted to represent individuals in civil matters. It is generally a good idea to consult with private counsel to explore private legal remedies that might be available.

4. Will a Commonwealth's Attorney represent me on a traffic ticket?

The Commonwealth does not participate in the 9:00 a.m. Thursday traffic docket. We only participate in the traffic matters set for 1:30 p.m. on Thursdays which involves DUIs or other criminal charges associated with the traffic offense.

5. How can I get my property returned in a criminal case?

If you are a victim of a crime, contact the Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Department or Virginia State Police that handled the case once the case is resolved. If the police department receives clearance from the Commonwealth's attorney to return your property, it will be returned to you. If you are a defendant, please contact your attorney so he or she can facilitate the return of your property. State law prohibits firearms or other contraband to defendants after conviction.

6. How do I get a copy of a police report?

State law prohibits that the government is not obligated to release any part of a criminal investigative file, which includes police reports. With this in mind, our Office does not release police reports to the public.

7. How do I pay a traffic ticket?

Contact the General District Court at (804) 469-4533.

8. How can I have my criminal record expunged?

Because there are different procedures depending on what the crime was and how the sentencing was handled, you need to go to the court that convicted you, and request from the clerk's office, the correct forms and procedures for expungement.

9. If I get a subpoena, do I have to go to court?

Yes. A subpoena is an order of the court. You must go to court unless the court or the party who caused the subpoena to be issued excuses you. If you fail to appear, the judge may issue a warrant for your arrest.

10. What is an arraignment?

An arraignment is the defendant's initial appearance where he/she will be advised of the charges against him/her. The judge at the arraignment will also determine whether the defendant is able to afford his/her own attorney, whether he/she qualifies for court appointed counsel, or whether he/she chooses to waive his/her right to an attorney. If the defendant qualifies for court appointed counsel, the judge will appoint counsel at the arraignment and tell the defendant how to get in touch with his/her attorney. Finally, the judge will give the defendant his/her trial or preliminary hearing date at the arraignment.

11. What is a preliminary hearing?

The preliminary hearing, which takes place in either the General District Court or the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, is where the judge hears the Commonwealth's evidence to determine if there is sufficient evidence to send felony charges to the grand jury for indictment in the Circuit Court. Therefore, the Commonwealth usually will not present all of its evidence at the preliminary hearing. If the district court judge does not find probable cause for a felony, then that charge will be dismissed unless the judge finds sufficient evidence to convict the defendant of a lesser included misdemeanor instead. If the district judge finds that there is probable cause that the defendant committed the felony charged in the warrant, that felony charge is certified to the next grand jury. The grand jury, which is convened in the Circuit Court, will then hear some of the Commonwealth's evidence to determine whether it finds probable cause for the felony charge. If the grand jury finds probable cause, it returns a true bill, thereby indicting the defendant.

12. How do I go about getting a Protective Order against someone who is physically abusing or threatening me?

Contact Court Services at (804) 469-4539.

13. What do I do if I have not received my court ordered restitution?
