In that case you’d better be prepared to take into account how your cars are going to have a place to live. Reserved parking ain’t cheap, if you can even get it in your building. $100/month would be a bargain. It’s probably closer to $250. Post another thread asking about that. And you also must acquire a VA drivers license and register your car within 60 days of moving to Virginia. Additionally you are also responsible for paying an annual (yes, annual) personal property tax on the value of each vehicle being kept in Arlington. What’s this? I already paid taxes on my car when I bought it? Yes, the dreaded “personal property tax” is a revenue collections statute that allows each county to squeeze money from citizens every year based upon the value of their cars. My advice is either don’t bring your cars, or suck it up and pay up. Yeah, it stinks, but it’s the law. If you try and “hide” your car from Arlington by keeping your out of state car titled in another state (using out-of-state license plates), then don’t. When you get caught (not if, but when) you’ll have to pay a hefty penalty on top of whatever taxes you owe. Arlington has several cars with license plate readers that they park outside of apartment/condos and capture the tags of cars entering/leaving the property. They’ll send you a “courtesy” notice reminding you of your obligations, but eventually you’ll get a bill. And if unpaid, eventually a summons. There are far better ways to see the inside of the local courthouse. Seriously, don’t hide or try to fight it. You’ll eventually get caught. Just chalk it up as a “cost of doing business” to live here.

Welcome to Virginia.
