Q.  What do I do if I trade or sell a vehicle?

A.  Virginia State law requires that you notify the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as soon as possible when you sell or trade a vehicle.  Personal property tax assessments and potential refunds will be based on the date the sale was recorded by DMV.  DO NOT rely on the purchaser or the dealer to timely notify DMV. 

Q.  What do I do when a vehicle has been junked?
