($3.70 per $100 of assessed value)
Most cities charge personal property tax on personal watercraft based on the assessed value of the vessel. It is part of what most boat owners budget for when deciding to by a boat.
But, did you know, in Virginia Beach, the city does not charge boaters for personal property tax on boats moored in Virginia Beach for at least six months plus one day out of the tax year. Well, technically they do charge and here are the details.
If you are like most of us and own a slightly more reasonable watercraft, then you will not owe any money for Personal Property Tax for your boat.
