COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE OFFERS ONLINE REGISTRATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES
Hanover County citizens wishing to register motor vehicles with the Commissioner of
Revenue's office may now do so online. In a continuing effort for improved customer service
we have developed an
online registration form to assist taxpayers in properly registering their motor
vehicles. The new form includes questions regarding vehicles sold or disposed of by the
taxpayer that will allow us to ensure accurate personal property billing in the fall.
Once you have completed the registration form, the information will be transmitted to
office via email. The vehicle registration information and any information related to
vehicle disposals will be entered into the tax administration software system by our
staff. Once the information is entered, you will be provided the decal ticket number which
can then be used to purchase the decal from the Treasurer's online decal purchase program.
We are committed in our efforts to continue offering improvements and opportunities for you
to interact with our office at your convenience. Please do not hesitate to call our office
should you have questions or suggestions.If you have any questions about the online purchase
of the decal or about paying your taxes online, please contact the Treasurer at (804)365-6050.
