e-Check Information

You can now have your Car Taxes electronically paid from your checking or savings account. There is no processing fee to pay by e-Check.

Payment is considered on-time as long as submission is made by the due date.

Simply provide us information from your check, such as your bank routing number (9 digit number located in the lower left corner of your check) and your account number.

We will automatically debit your checking or savings account. Please be aware that certain financial institutions only permit e-Check debits from checking accounts and do not permit e-Check debits from savings accounts.

Pay now by e-Check, or call 703-222-8234 for more information.

Important Note for Payment of Delinquent Taxes: The Fairfax County Department of Tax Administration (DTA) may have placed a 'Hold' against your DMV registration because of delinquent taxes. It may take 3 to 5 business days before your account is updated to reflect e-Check payments.

If you are paying well in advance of renewing your state registration, and for all other delinquent payments, you may make payment by e-Check. Any existing DMV 'Hold' will be released automatically within the next two weeks.

If you need the immediate release of a DMV registration 'Hold', you may make payment by e-Check now. However, you must also contact DTA after 24 hours to verify that your account is clear and obtain a release.
