[Archived] 2020 Vehicle and Business Personal Property Taxes Due December 15

For Immediate Release: December 1, 2020

The City of Alexandria reminds taxpayers that 2020 Vehicle and Business Personal Property Taxes are due December 15. City Council extended the Personal Property Tax due dates until December 15, 2020 to provide vehicle and business owners with additional time to pay.

Avoid the crowds and use one of the City’s contactless payment options.  Pay by credit card or eCheck on the City's website at alexandriava.gov/Payments.  Car tax payments can be mailed to City of Alexandria, PO Box 34710, Alexandria, VA 22334-0710.  Business personal property tax payments can be mailed to City of Alexandria, PO Box 34901, Alexandria, VA 22334-0901.

Payments can also be made in person at the Treasury Division, City Hall, 301 King Street, Room 1510, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.  However, the Finance Department strongly encourages those who prefer to pay in person to pay early to avoid the crowds, and to use the drop box on the Royal Street side of City Hall, which is available 24 hours a day.  Payment must be in the drop box by midnight on December 15, 2020, to avoid the penalty.
