APPEAL FORM

For Motor Vehicles with High Mileage or in Damaged Condition as of January 1

The Statutes which govern personal property assessments for automobiles require that the value (1) be from a

recognized pricing guide, (2) be applied uniformly, (3) and as of January 1 of the tax year. To meet these

requirements, Fairfax County, along with other Virginia jurisdictions, uses the January edition of the National

Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Official Used Car Guide. The valuation of automobiles using individual

sales, purchase prices, or trade-in offers, as a basis for assessment, is not permitted. However, under section §58.1-

3503(B) of the Code of Virginia, the condition of property may be taken into account. Recognition of differences

between vehicles is limited to conditional factors, which can be readily identified and the extent of any loss of value

clearly documented. Body damage, rusting and mileage are conditional factors for which adjustments in value are

most frequently made.

Information Required

Vehicle Description: Make

, Model

, Year

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Briefly describe the physical condition of the vehicle.

_____________________________________________________________________________

If your vehicle was in less than average condition as of January 1, (for example, accident damage or rusting)

submit this form along with an itemized estimate by a qualified automobile appraiser/estimator detailing the extent

of damage and the cost to repair/restore the vehicle to average condition. Other acceptable documentation would

be a copy of an insurance company estimate describing the condition and cost to repair the damage. If your appeal

is for a high mileage adjustment, please attach a copy of the latest State Safety Inspection slip, vehicle repair

receipt or a similar document to verify odometer reading.
