Title: Abolish Virginia’s Personal Property Tax

Hardworking Virginians are taxed every year just for owning things like cars — our personal property. This tax is unfair, burdensome, and hits middle- and lower-income families the hardest.

It costs families hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars each year, just for trying to get to work, take kids to school, or live their daily lives. Personal property tax doesn’t make sense — it punishes people for owning what they need.

We call on the Virginia General Assembly to abolish personal property tax and find fairer ways to fund our communities without hurting everyday citizens.

Sign this petition to demand relief from this outdated, unfair tax and support Virginians’ right to keep what they Why We Need to Abolish Personal Property Tax in Virginia:

💸 It’s a financial burden: Families pay hundreds or even thousands each year just for owning a car or other personal property. That’s money that could go toward groceries, healthcare, or savings.

🚗 It punishes necessity: Cars are essential for work, school, and daily life. Why should Virginians be taxed for owning what they need to live?

⚖️ It’s unfair and outdated: Unlike other taxes, personal property tax doesn’t reflect wealth or income. Middle- and lower-income families feel the brunt of it.

🏠 It doesn’t help local communities effectively: Administrative costs of collecting this tax reduce the benefit, while residents continue to struggle.

🌱 It discourages economic growth: Taxes on personal property make it harder for people to invest in their vehicles, tools, and other essentials, slowing mobility and opportunity.

✅ A better way exists: Virginia can fund essential services without punishing hardworking citizens. Eliminating personal property tax is a step toward fairness and economic freedom.earn!
