Virginia splits passenger cars at 4,000 pounds. Electric vehicles owe a Highway Use Fee that is updated each July 1, and drivers can opt into a mileage-based alternative. Cities and counties bill personal property tax separately from the DMV.
Renewal cycle: annual (2- and 3-year options available).
