A DMV stop is a collection tool. Once a personal property account becomes delinquent it is subject to a DMV stop. A DMV stop prohibits the delinquent taxpayer from doing business with a Virginia DMV. There is an additional $55 charge placed on the delinquent account ($25 DMV stop fee and $30 Administrative fee). We encourage taxpayers to pay their taxes in full by the deadlines to avoid a DMV stop collection action. Once a DMV stop is placed, we will not accept personal/business checks for payment.
