>I guess, but everyone knows they owe taxes.

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.
