What if I move taxable personal property into Surry County or purchase 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 not be liable for taxes for the year you move into Surry County or purchase a vehicle during the year. If you were in another Virginia locality on January 1 of the year you may be taxed by that locality for the year.
