Public Notices from The Treasurer

The 2011 Personal Property tax bills were placed in the mail between December 7 and December 14, 2011. Payments are due by Monday, February 6, 2012. If you have not received your bill by Wednesday, December 21, 2011 you may view and/or pay your 2011 taxes on‐line by visiting the Treasurer's On-Line Services or call the Treasurer’s Office at 804-365-6050 for assistance.

If you have sold a vehicle or are no longer living in the county please contact the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office at Commissioner@co.hanover.va.us or calling 804‐365‐6129. If you have misplaced your original bill, you may view your personal property bill on‐line at the link above.

We have identified a printing problem with the 2011 Personal Property tax bills. Any vehicle having a tax assessed value of $1,000 or less was not included on the bill, if the vehicle qualified for the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Tax Relief Program. We are currently working with our software provider and our IT Department to resolve the problem. Citizens may verify these vehicles and amounts by visiting the Treasurer's On-Line Services website and selecting the menu option “Personal Property Tax” in the “Inquiry Options” area. Citizens will need to have their account number and should select the “Details” option next to the vehicle in question. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have
caused.

Personal Property taxes are the responsibility of the property owner.  In the event of an ownership change, please notify the Treasurer's Office by returning the bill, or email the Treasurer's Office at Treasurer@co.hanover.va.us or call 804-365-6050.  If you have misplaced your original bill, you may view your Personal Property bill on-line.

Important Public Notice about County Decals

On April 13, 2011, the Board of Supervisors voted to eliminate the County decals. Citizens are still required to register their vehicle within 60 days from the date of purchase or from the date they move into Hanover. To register your vehicle with the Commissioner of the Revenue, click the following link: Online Vehicle Registration Form.

For vehicles that already have a county decal (pictured below on the left), they will be granted access to the county landfill/transfer stations. Any newly acquired vehicle, which needs to gain access to the county landfill/transfer stations, will be given a free landfill sticker (pictured below on the right) to display on their rearview mirror. These stickers can be picked up at any of the county landfill/transfer stations, Public Works Office or the Treasurer’s Office.

Important Public Notice

Please note that Online Tax Services will be unavailable during normal maintenance procedures which are scheduled for Sunday mornings from 2:30-3:30 a.m., and on the second Friday of each month from 7:30-8:30 a.m.
