The 2007 Virginia General Assembly passed legislation authorizing certain fees and taxes to be imposed by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) which become effective on January 1, 2008. The clerks of circuit court in Northern Virginia were required to collect the NVTA grantor’s tax starting January 1, 2008. The Virginia Supreme Court ruled that these fees and taxes were unconstitutional on February 29, 2008, and the clerks of circuit court ceased collection of these taxes on March 3, 2008, as directed by the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Information from the Loudoun County Clerk of the Circuit Court about the refund process for the NVTA congestion relief fees is online.
