What if I move taxable personal property out of Surry County or sell it during the tax year?

You will need to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries as well as the Commissioner of the Revenue. Surry County does not prorate personal property, so you will still be liable for the full year's tax. Per Virginia Code Section 58.1-3511 "the situs for vehicles with a weight of 10,000 pounds or less registered in Virginia but normally garaged, docked or parked in another state shall be the locality in Virginia where registered."
