The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors during a special meeting on Oct. 7 approved an extension for residents to pay their personal property tax, commonly known as car tax. The board acted in response to the ongoing federal shutdown.

With the extended deadline, all residents have until Nov. 5 to pay their personal property tax without late fees or penalties. Residents can pay their car tax online, by using drop boxes, by phone or in person at the Fairfax County Government Center.
