The due date for Vehicle Personal Property and 2nd Installment Real Estate Taxes is Oct. 5, 2024. As Oct. 5 falls on a Saturday, payments are being accepted without penalty if received or postmarked by Oct. 7, 2024.
Per Arlington County Code § 27-11, all tangible personal property (with a few exceptions) that is used in a business in Arlington County is subject to Business Tangible Personal Property Tax. Therefore, all Arlington County businesses must file a Business Tangible Personal Property Return each year on or before May 1. Payments, if applicable, are due each year on or before September 5.
The Arlington County Board sets the tax rate. For 2024, the rate has been set at $5.00 per $100 of assessed value.
Annually, businesses must file business tangible online via CAPP by 11:59 p.m. on May 1. The Commissioner of Revenue does not grant filing extensions beyond the May 1 filing deadline. We recommend that if you do not have all the required information, you should file the return and amend it later because if you do not file your Business Tangible Tax return by 11:59 p.m. on May 1, a late-filing penalty of 10 percent of the tax determined to be due will be incurred.
If you lease tangible personal property from others, you must report all property in your possession, including leased property, even if the lessor also reports them.
You should not use your Business Tangible return to report any over-the-road vehicles, such as cars, trucks and trailers. Instead, you must report them as part of your Vehicle Personal Property Taxes. For more information, call 703-228-3135.
