Business Personal Property

At this time Fluvanna County does not require a business license to operate in the County.  The state of Virginia requires businesses to be registered with the Virginia Department of Taxation.

Business Personal Property Tax

Business personal property tax is a tax on the furniture, fixtures, machinery, and tools used in a business, trade, or profession.  The Code of Virginia (§58.1-3503) states that all tangible business personal property is taxable for the physical life of the property regardless of age (1 day or 1,000 years old).  However, Fluvanna County only taxes these assets for the first ten years of business use in the County.  Taxable assets include items that have been received free of charge, as a gift, or personal items that have been brought from home to use in the business. Taxable property also includes items that have been partially or fully depreciated for income tax purposes.  The deadline to submit the business personal property tax return is March 15th of the current tax year.
