Recent Changes
COUNTY ELIMINATES COUNTY DECALS
At the November 14, 2006 Board of Supervisors meeting, a public hearing was held and the Board voted to eliminate the County decal, and replace it with a license fee which will be included on the personal property tax bill that will be mailed out in September 2007. This tax will be due with your personal property tax on November 15, 2007.
Since current County decals do not expire until March 15, 2007, the first tax bill that includes the license tax will pro rate the amount due for motor vehicles in 2007. Therefore, rather than a $23.00 license tax on trucks and cars, a fee of $18.25 will be charged; motorcycles will be $14.25 instead of $18.00
The Board considered this change after several months of information gathering and study, and positive comments from citizens who did not “enjoy” scraping off a county sticker each year.
