City of Alexandria Announces Revisions to
The Decal Process for Motor Vehicles

The City of Alexandria has approved the advance issuance of City decals to vehicle owners before payment of their current year personal property taxes, provided their prior year property taxes have been paid, and discontinuing the proration of vehicle decal fees.

The ordinance reduces expenses and provides a more convenient system for City taxpayers. Most vehicle owners now receive at least two mailings from the City. The first mailing is a bill for personal property taxes, the $25 decal fee, and any applicable zone parking fees. After the bill is paid, City staff manually mails the decal (and zone parking permits, if any). City decals will be mailed to vehicle owners along with the bill for personal property taxes, the decal fee and any parking permit fees. The City will have a range of enforcement tools available to effect payment by owners who fail to pay the bill.

For more information about the ordinance, call 703.838.4755.
