I guess, but everyone knows they owe taxes. One of the only 2 guarantees in life, and the other is death. After 1 year knowing I didn’t pay taxes, I’d be quick to get that figured out so fees and interest don’t pile up, and it doesn’t go to collections. Ever tried to tell the city they’re at fault?

Yeah, I knew I owed taxes and was already paying several new taxes I didn't have in Florida. But nobody gave me a guidebook for "first time Virginia residents" telling me I had to make sure all the different agencies did their jobs and set up my account in their systems so they could bill me.

I certainly didn't think I'd be owing Richmond City taxes on a new car I purchased (and already paid Florida sales tax) five months before moving here.

ETA: I did try telling the city they're at fault for not getting the records from the DMV, despite me registering for utilities and voting in the city 3 months after I moved here in 2012. They didn't care and literally said this was on me.

Fair, I missed that Florida part! No PPT, niiiiice.

As a Florida native and resident of 30 years, IMHO, that's the only good thing about Florida 😏

Saw off the state and let it float away, Bugs!

I’ve lived in 7 states and Virginia was the least “user friendly” for new first-time residents of them all.

Not every state requires personal property taxes on a vehicle
