Loudoun County's personal property taxes are due May 5 — earlier than other counties — but it will eventually impact all Virginians.
“This isn't something that's going to be unique to Loudoun County,” Wertz said. “Vehicles across the state are valued based on NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) used car guides, so other localities will see similar treatment."
The pandemic slammed the breaks on new vehicle production. Car rental companies were slowed, too, so instead of adding new vehicles into their fleet, they held onto their used vehicles.
Supply of used cars declined, demand went up, and value increased.
For example, a 2021 Toyota Camry increased in value by more than $1,000. A 2019 Dodge Ram jumped by more than $3,600. And a 2015 Honda CR-V increased by more than $500.
