VA personal property tax

[Ncrabill2]

Can Virginia charge me personal property taxes when I live in MD but I work at the airport and often stay at my boyfriend's house who lives in Virginia? I don't live with him but spend a lot of time there . How do I fight them trying to force me to pay personal property taxes and prove my case?

If you live in Maryland but work in Virginia, you generally pay property taxes in the state where you reside, which is Maryland. However, Virginia may impose personal property taxes on vehicles or other assets if they are garaged or primarily used in Virginia.

For example, if you frequently use your vehicle in Virginia for work and it is registered there, you might be subject to Virginia's personal property tax. Additionally, if you spend significant time in Virginia or maintain a residence there, it could affect your tax obligations.

To clarify your specific situation, it’s best to consult with a tax professional or check with the Virginia Department of Taxation. You can also review [Virginia's reciprocity agreements](https://www.tax.virginia.gov/reciprocity) for more details on tax obligations between Maryland and Virginia.
