Something interesting on my VA car tax receipt
As all the Virginians on this board are aware, we are subject to a yearly draconian automobile personal property tax. I just received my receipt for my 03 350 ($277.11) and it had something interesting on it.
Not only did it have the assessed value and tax rate (4.57% IIRC), they also listed what the tax would have been pre-rollback. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of $839
. Absolutely amazing. 
Rollback FTW. Mark Warner and his freezing of the rollback and cancellation of the permanent rollback of the car tax FTL.

When Mark Warner was elected, he froze the car tax at the current rate (no more incremental rollbacks) so the rate we pay now is the same rate we paid in 2003 IIRC. The $839 in the OP is the tax I would have paid on the Z if there was no rollback whatsoever.

Don't forget that a lot of the county residents pay a tax too...hell, in Henrico, we JUST got rid of those stupid window stickers showing that we had paid the tax. My '73 240 was assessed this year at $16 tax...not too bad, but it took 34 years for it to get so low. VA. sucks when it comes to taxes...no wonder that instead of the Commonwealth of Virginia, people call it the Communist State of Virginia.

Just keep in mind that in order to get the money they felt they were owed, after they lowered the taxes soo much... They created this stupid "Civil Fine' for motor vehicle citations....
This is why we now have a $3,000 fine (for Virginia residents ONLY) if you get caught speeding 15mph+ over the posted speed limit...
They expected to generate over $60 million in revenue in the first year....
