Auto Values

Equally required by the Code of Virginia, vehicles are valued by a recognized pricing guide equally of Jan 1 of each taxation year. All jurisdictions in Virginia, including the City of Alexandria, use the National Automobile Dealers Association (Zippo) values for used vehicles.

Economic factors associated with the COVID-nineteen pandemic have wrought unprecedented spikes in car valuations on a land and national basis. The 2022 assessed value increased approximately 26% for roughly 87% of vehicles in the City.

Rather than taxation the full market place value equally allowed by constabulary, on May 4, 2022, the Alexandria City Council adopted an Assessment Ratio of 78.8% for Tax Yr 2022. This means that on every vehicle being taxed, the Metropolis will apply a disbelieve of 21.2% to Zip's Jan market value. This action is permitted past Department 58.ane-3503(B) of the Lawmaking of Virginia.

Adoption of the 78.viii% Assessment Ratio was determined after considerable deliberation by Urban center Quango on the needs of the FY 2023 Operating Budget.

The resulting discount on the 2022 assessed value is the highest in Northern Virginia. Still, it is important to annotation that even with the utilize of an Cess Ratio, many taxpayers will still see an increase on their specific vehicle. This is because while the overall average increase is about 26%, the range of increases varies widely.

Car Revenue enhancement bills volition be mailed this summertime, due to be paid on or before Oct 5, 2022.

Country Car Tax Subsidy

Along with the Assessment Ratio on all cars, City Quango has taken additional action to minimize the taxation burden on lower-valued cars. Starting with Taxation Year 2022, the City volition now apply the State Car Tax subsidy to 100% of the amount due on Personal Use vehicles assessed at $5,000 or less. The previous 100% subsidy simply practical to vehicles assessed at $i,000 or less. It is estimated this action will eliminate the local taxation burden on more than 32,000 cars. Because the City receives a fixed, apartment amount from the State each year for the Car Revenue enhancement subsidy, if more relief is allocated to low value cars, less relief must exist given to more expensive cars. This does non touch on the assessed value of the motorcar, but it will impact the overall local revenue enhancement levy due to be paid past October five.

The final country subsidy rates for Tax Year 2022 will be published in June 2022 prior to billing.

Economic science of Auto Valuation

During the pinnacle of pandemic lockdowns, consumer demand for cars declined. Semiconductor microchips ability numerous vehicle figurer components today, and with the decline in demand manufacturers shifted focus on production from cars to other consumer goods which spiked during massive global teleworking (computers, mobile phones, etc.). Due to earlier changes, the external supply of microchips decreased, and vehicle supply suffered major backlogs, further compounded by the enormous shipping backlog and bottlenecks at ports of entry. Additionally, during the pandemic there was less churn among leasing companies and major fleets, reducing the number of used cars available on the marketplace. Equally a result, consumer need for appurtenances also began a sustained spike. These factors resulted in rising prices as dealers had less inventory to sell. For example, according to J.D. Ability, dealer inventories were down -59.1% in January 2022 compared to January 2021; and 11.3 million fewer vehicles were produced due to microchip shortages. As a outcome of supply and demand, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that used-car prices nationally rose 40.5% in January 2021 over January 2020, and boilerplate new automobile prices at dealerships topped $45,000 for the starting time time ever.

Co-ordinate to J.D. Power, the shortage of supply is expected to keep to touch on sales through at least the first one-half of 2022, reporting that dealers continue to sell most inventory equally soon as it hits their lots. Every bit such, they forecast that vehicle prices will go on to increment in the get-go two quarters of 2022 before depreciation begins to return. It is likewise early to know what this means for car values in Revenue enhancement Twelvemonth 2023. At this time withal, the City's Cess Ratio of 78.8% is predictable to be a one-year action applicable to Tax Yr 2022 only. (The assessed value that generates the annual revenue enhancement nib is always as of January 1 of the calendar year)
