The closing process of real estate is an agreement between the buyer and the seller. The Pittsylvania County Treasurer’s Office is not a party to this agreement.

Pursuant to the Code of Virginia, 58.1-3281, the beginning of the tax year for the assessment of taxes on real estate shall be January 1st and the owner of real estate on the day shall be assessed for the taxes for the year beginning on that day.

We will forward the bill to the new owners at your request; however, legal action for delinquent taxes will go against whomever owned the property January 1st.

Pittsylvania County is a non-prorating County. If the vehicle was owned on January 1st of the taxation year, you owe the full amount of taxes for that year. This also means that if you buy a vehicle after January 1st of a taxation year, you will not pay personal property taxes on that vehicle during that year.

The Treasurer has the authority to pursue the collection of delinquent personal property taxes/license fees by withholding your motor vehicle registration at the DMV. If a stop has been placed on your account due to unpaid taxes, you will not be allowed to renew your license tags until such taxes are paid to the Treasurer in full. A $55 DMV stop fee must also be paid in addition to any taxes and fees that are delinquent. Taxpayers are encouraged to pay their taxes by the due dates to avoid disruption of your vehicle registration.

In 2007, the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors adopted a license tax fee. This fee is assessed to all actively registered vehicles as of January 1st of the tax year. No adjustments are made to the license fee assessment due to the vehicle being sold after January 1st. The fee is assessed based on DMV information regarding the garage jurisdiction. Town residents are not liable for the county license fee. Each town collects their license or decal fee.

Once an account has been forwarded to TACS for collection purposes, you must contact TACS with questions regarding your account balance, payoff, to make a payment etc. They can be reached at 804-545-2500.
