RECENT CHANGE TO COUNTY DECAL REQUIREMENT

Vehicles normally garaged or parked in Prince William County are no longer required to display a County decal. This change affects the local registration of vehicles as follows:

• The elimination of the requirement to display a County decal does not change the filing requirement for vehicles and vehicle owners must still report to the Tax Administration Division new vehicles moved into Prince William County and vehicles sold or moved out. This can be done using eXpress Tax or by contacting us by phone at 703-792-6710.
• We will no longer issue County decals for vehicles located or being moved into Prince William County.
  
• For vehicles being moved into Prince William County, you will be billed for the annual license fee of $24 for autos/trucks and $12 for cycles along with the personal property tax, if any is due. The fee is waived if the vehicle is a replacement for a vehicle sold or moved out on which the license fee has already been paid.

For vehicles already in Prince William County, the County will still levy and collect an annual license fee of $24 for autos/trucks and $12 for cycles along with the personal property tax.

You are encouraged to keep your 2009 decal on any vehicle used to transport trash or yard waste to any of the County's solid waste facilities (main landfill, Balls Ford compost facility, and rural park-out locations). This will assist the workers at these facilities in identifying County residents until a new system of identification is implemented. For information call 703-792-6710; Metro 703-631-1703 ext. 6710 or send your question by e-mail to Taxpayer_Services@pwcgov.org
