1. Does Caroline County still require a decal sticker to be displayed on the windshield?

No.  As of August 14, 2018, Caroline County no longer requires a decal to be displayed.  All current decals should be removed by December 31, 2018.  

2. If I sell a vehicle during the year and purchase another one, do I get a discount on the vehicle license fee for my new vehicle?

No.  If you sell a vehicle in which you already paid the vehicle license fee, you will be assessed a separate vehicle license fee on the new vehicle.  Contact the Commissioner of the Revenue's office with any questions.

3. If I move into Caroline County from another jurisdiction after January 1, will I be assessed a vehicle license fee by Caroline?

No. You will need to provide proof of payment to the Commissioner of the Revenue's office.  Once they confirm that a vehicle license fee has been paid to another Virginia locality, they will not charge a vehicle license fee for Caroline.  This only applies if it's within the same tax year and for the same vehicle.

4. If I am a Resident of an incorporated town, do the same rules for purchasing a decal apply?
