The personal property tax due date for vehicles and businesses has been extended from October 6, 2025 to November 5, 2025. Payments made on or before this date will be considered on time.

The Board of Supervisors approved a resolution extending the due date to provide temporary relief in response to the current federal government shutdown. 

No, payments received between October 6 and November 5, 2025, will be considered on time and will not incur penalties or interest.

Penalties and interest will begin to accrue on November 6, 2025, for any unpaid balances.

No, you do not need a new bill. The county’s tax system will be automatically updated to reflect the new due date of November 5, 2025.

Yes, you can make your payment at any time before November 5, 2025. Paying early and as much as you can is always encouraged.

Yes, the new due date of November 5, 2025 applies to all personal property taxpayers in the county including business personal property.

No, this change only applies to personal property taxes for vehicles and businesses which were originally due on October 6, 2025. Due dates for other taxes remain the same.

You can visit the Department of Tax Administration’s website Online (quick, one-time payment) or log in to your MyFairfax Portal to view your bill, payment status, and account information.

We encourage you to pay as much as possible by the new date to minimize possible interest and penalties. However, if you are unable to make a payment, DTA can work with you on a payment plan to prevent the account from going to collections.

We encourage you to pay as much as you can on or before November 5 to minimize any interest and penalties. However, we understand that many county residents experience financial challenges, including furloughs and job loss. If you are having difficulty making your tax payments, we can assist with payment plans that will help spread your tax obligation over time to avoid increased costs. Because every situation is unique, we take an individualized approach to payment options. The most important step is to contact the Department of Tax Administration and discuss your options.
