Vehicle Decals

2009 Vehicle Decals

New red 2009 decals went on sale July 1, 2008, and were to be displayed by November 17, 2008. All past due taxes must be paid in full before a decal can be purchased. Please call 703-777-0280 to determine the total amount now due or utilize our Search & Pay option to determine any amounts owed. Payments received will automatically be applied to delinquent taxes first.

All county residents, living outside an incorporated town, are required to display a County Vehicle License Decal on their automobile or motorcycle within 60 days of moving into the county. These decal fees are billed with personal property taxes, and are due to be paid by October 5 to the County Treasurer. New decals should be displayed on vehicles prior to November 16 of each year. New residents or current residents purchasing new vehicles should contact the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office immediately to register their vehicles. Loudoun County residents who live within the boundaries of an incorporated town should contact their respective town office to purchase vehicle license decals.
