I received my tax bill and it still has a vehicle that I got rid of in February (March, April etc.)
Shenandoah County is not a prorating locality. If you owned the vehicle on January 1st of the taxation year, you will owe taxes for the full year. If you purchased a vehicle after January 1st of the taxation year, you will not pay taxes on that vehicle for that tax year.
My tax bill has vehicles/items that I did not own on January 1st, how do I get this corrected?
The Commissioner of Revenue is the assessing office, you may contact them at 540-459-6170.
What is a DMV stop and how do I avoid getting one placed on my account?
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 $55.00 charge placed on the delinquent account ($25.00 DMV stop fee & $30.00 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.

I paid my delinquent taxes, when will the DMV stop be released?

I have property that I no longer want, can I give it to the county?
