I am a college student. Where do I register my vehicle?
The vehicle is assessed based on the owner's home locality. If the vehicle is owned by your parents who live in Fairfax County, the vehicle should be registered and taxed in Fairfax County. If the vehicle is owned by you and you have made the City of Fredericksburg your domicile (permanent address, registered to vote, etc.), then the vehicle is to be assessed by the City. Feel free to contact our office at 540-372-1005 if you have any questions.
