ARLINGTON COUNTY

Crackdown on Car Registration

Arlington County is cracking down on thousands of residents with out-of-state license plates on their vehicles for failing to register their cars in Virginia.

Beginning next month, the county will issue $100 annual fees for failing to register cars properly. State law requires that residents title and register their cars within 30 days of moving to Virginia.

Arlington requires cars to be registered with the county within 60 days and levies a tax based on 5 percent of the car's value.

Commissioner of Revenue Ingrid Morroy said about 4,000 people have vehicles with out-of-state tags that are registered with the county but not the state. She estimates that 3,000 more car owners need to register with the county.
