Can You Register An Rv From Another State When Youu Live In Virginia

Topic: Virginia RV taxes

Posted By: ReadytoRide on 08/17/eleven 07:30am Hello all - I have been "absent" for quite some time. Life somehow seems to become in the mode of fun. Anyway, I have moved from Florida to Virginia. I hated to practice it, simply I went where the work was. I was wondering if anyone on this board has registered a motorhome in Virginia, and if and then, are the county-charged "personal belongings taxes" applicable to MH's, and if so, is it the full amount? I tin can't imagine having to pay 2 or 3 percentage of the value of my MH in taxes each twelvemonth. That would increase my costs probably $150-$300 per calendar month. It already pains me making a huge payment each month on something that has ended upwards sitting most of the time.

Posted By: ReadytoRide on 08/17/xi 07:56am Gas and fuel taxes low in Virginia compared to where? DC and Dr., perchance. Gas is no college in Central Florida than where I live now, and closer to DC information technology is noticeably higher. And...no more fuel than it uses sitting stationary, I would rather more taxes on the fuel - and nigh of the miles I would drive it would not be in Virginia, anyway.

Posted By: blangen on 08/17/11 08:05am Yep... welcome to Virginia. [emoticon]

Mayhap you lot should consider residency in FL, SD, TX, TN (just to proper name a few) and be in VA "temporarily".

Posted By: ReadytoRide on 08/17/11 08:41am Roy, that's what I understand. The % varies from county to canton, and there is a state "subsidy" to kickoff the cost on vehicles. RV'south don't get that, so unless they are exempted for some other reason, it would be on the total value. Prince William County is iii.7%, others are lower, some are higher. That'due south $3700 on a $100,000 MH.
I have two children living in Orlando, and ain holding in the panhandle (just an empty piece of land), so I think mayhap I should keep it registered in FL.
Burp - the property taxes on houses in Doctor effectually DC are ridiculous. $6000 more in the Laurel area than Stafford on comparable houses.

Posted Past: Gonnacall on 08/17/11 08:45am Run into if you tin "Store" your RV in Prince William Canton, I believe that county does not charge property taxes. In VA it's where y'all "garage" the personal property not where y'all live. I know of a number of people that store their RV at that place then they don't have to pay the PP.

Posted By: harleyman1340 on 08/17/11 08:52am If y'all already have a Fla registeration I would utilize a mail service forwarding service such as St. Brendans Isle mail forwarding service and go out the registeration in Florida. I was looking at using this to proceed from paying property taxes on my mh in Ga. but I had to accept insurance in Fla and the rates were much higher in Fla than Ga. Past the fourth dimension I compared everything the get-go year was pretty much a wash but I could salve about $800/year from the second twelvemonth frontward.

I am not sure nearly that. I know I could move to the Dahlgren area and pay less holding taxes than in Doc, mainly considering the houses price less. But each canton in each state is different. I live in a rural area and my taxes are not too bad. Whatsoever DC suburb is expensive, no matter which side of the Potomac y'all live on.

Posted Past: ReadytoRide on 08/17/11 09:10am The MH is currently stored at Ft. Belvoir, so it hasn't been an issue. However, since I am no longer on active duty, I am going to have to move information technology somewhere else. I am moving to a location where I promise to accept it on holding with me. Changing my registration address to my girl in Orlando may be my all-time bet.

Posted Past: jim1632 on 08/17/eleven 10:32am I have an RV registered in VA. Each county determines treatment of RV for property. In Arlington where I live the rate would be five% as the country law that gives a subsidy for property taxes does not provide for whatsoever reduction to RVs.

Non sure what Stafford does but Prince William, just upward I-95 does not charge any personal belongings tax on RVs. There is a parking lot (Holly Hills Marine) that offers spaces starting at $67/calendar month located at Exit 158 (Woodbridge). They offering a dump station too so I accept found this a pretty convenient way to keep my RV at a lower cost.

Never heard of these type of taxes before. But so I am understanding correctly, in your example that ways y'all have to pay $3,700 in RV taxes every year?

Posted By: retired4fun2002 on 08/17/11 11:39am Welcome to VA....I moved TO FL due to the PP on MH's. I ain only a Class B and it was ridiculous (started at $1700). When I pulled out, it was withal about $1300. Fortunately I am retired, so I can sympathize your relocation. Safety travels.

Never heard of these blazon of taxes earlier. Just so I am understanding correctly, in your example that means you have to pay $iii,700 in RV taxes every year?

Yes that is right, some states have established that personal vehicles, boats, RV'south even airplanes are considered personal holding just like a house. In SC where I live nosotros have a sales tax cap of $300 just your property tax tin be several thousands of dollars depending on the year and assessed value of your vehicles. Our county tax assessor will decide the property tax value and in one case you pay the start time in person then every year you lot volition get a tax bill forth with your DMV plate renewal notice and costs. Once yous send in your holding tax the DMV volition issue you a new tag. In 2006 I bought a new Revolution LE motorhome and my property tax was assessed at $4300 which y'all pay this amount every year simply it does become down very, very slightly each twelvemonth for depreciation.

Posted Past: Snowwolfe on 08/17/11 12:40pm That really sucks. I used to think living in the southern states was pretty inexpensive. Simply when you add together sales taxation, state income tax, and at present personal property tax has me rethinking my opinion.

I'll be living just off The states 1 between exits 243 and 240, so this is an option I will look into if Stafford County wants too much to park it at my firm.

Posted By: vfrmarc on 08/17/eleven 01:26pm You can ever movement to Ohio where the yearly plates on my Class A are $65 with no personal property revenue enhancement. Car/RV insurance is reasonable, and so is fuel. Just then in that location is that pesky State Income Tax - Its progressive and then if y'all make North of $100K y'all are looking at greater than six%. And, of class, every metropolis but one has its own income taxation not to mention the school districts that likewise have income taxes. Yikes! If yous are retired some cities revenue enhancement only earned income (wages) and a few of the schoolhouse districts are the aforementioned way (simply most tax your pensions, interest income, etc besides).

Moral of the story, choose your poison they'll get you one way or some other.

Posted By: eadeal55 on 08/17/11 02:26pm Accept my MH registered in City of Suffolk. I'm charged $1.50 personal holding tax per hundred dollars of assessed value. My MH VIN shows it every bit an '04 Ford DRW Super Duty, and the assessed value was $38,450. The State does not share the cost of RVs, so I had to pay the full amount - $576.75, plus a $30 metropolis license fee. My almanac VA registration is $42, and I pay $16 to get the MH inspected. Total cost for 2010, almost $650. Add my payment and insurance, and I'm paying well-nigh $10,000 a twelvemonth for the MH. I proceed it at my house, plugged in on information technology's pad, and so I don't pay additional storage.

Posted By: Shot-N-Az on 08/xviii/11 04:52am Welcome to Virginia! Traffic sucks but the jobs are plentiful and the pay is practiced.

I'm a trivial s of you in Spotsy county. I'one thousand in the midst of a purchase and I've been looking into this as well. Here is what Spotsy does:

You are taxed at a rate of half-dozen.v% of the assessed value of the MH each yr. The first two years, the assessed value is equal to 50% of the purchase cost. The tertiary and fourth years the assessed value drops to 45% and 40% respectively. The fifth year is at 30%. First with yr six the assessed value is 20% and it stays at that level to infinity.

This is on a new motorhome purchase. I do not know how they would handle a MH being brought into the county that you accept owned for say, five years. Every time I think I have these rascals figured out, they motility the goal posts.

I'thousand reminded of a Joe Pesci scene in the movie "Lethal Weapon" when he is ranting about how the cell phone companies screw ya. If you are familiar with the movie, you will know what I mean.

You should call the Stafford part to come across for sure how they handle information technology in your county. Perhaps it is on the county website.

Posted By: Doug and Cassi Drinking glass on 08/17/11 04:21pm Don't move to a town in VA. Boondocks is a level of government as is metropolis and county.
City y'all pay city tax, county you pay county tax, town you pay town AND county taxes which can be astronomical.

Posted Past: vjstangelo on 08/18/11 03:41pm Interesting. I take a travel trailer and pay the full property revenue enhancement amount in Bedford Co., VA.

Does anyone have experience wih a Class C? This is basically an E series van with a living module rather than an empty compartment like a panel truck. I would think it could be classified as a personal vehicle rather than an RV.

Thoughts?

Posted Past: ReadytoRide on 08/18/11 04:34pm vjstangelo - it's still personal property and would get hit for the tax. Information technology might qualify for the state-funded subsidy if information technology's not as well heavy. If it is not exempted, the tax would be based on the tax value.

I gauge my next stride will be to contact the tax office in Stafford to discover out how they handle motorhomes. I may have to shop it in Prisoner of war county since they exempt them.

Ditto. Also, when you register your MH with the state you specify which county you will garage your MH in. Exist sure and specify Prince William Co which has $24 taxes.

I sympathize the beatdown...I live in Woodbridge and work in Rosslyn. Fortunately I have a Metro cease right by where I work. Moving to Stafford, and then I guess it will be VRE and Metro. It's a fell wheel, I recall. Everything upwardly here costs more, so people have to make more than. That increases operating costs, so businesses charge more, thereby increasing the cost of living....etc.
