Board adopts 29.5% personal property tax relief rate for 2026 bills
Summary
The Patrick County Board approved a 29.5% personal property tax relief rate to be applied to qualified vehicle assessments on fall 2026 bills; the state allocation to the locality is $688,658, the Commissioner of the Revenue said.
The Patrick County Board of Supervisors voted to set the Personal Property Tax Relief (PPTR) percentage at 29.5% for fall 2026 bills after a presentation from Commissioner of the Revenue Glenda Morse. Morse told the board the state provides $688,658 to the locality to fund the program and explained the relief applies to qualified vehicles on the first $20,000 of assessed value.
Morse said the locality’s personal property tax book had not been finalized and the rate could change slightly before billing if the treasurer’s final figures alter the calculation, but she did not anticipate a major shift. The board initially heard a motion that failed for lack of a second; a subsequent motion was seconded and the board voted to adopt 29.5%.
The board’s action will result in the relief percentage appearing on taxpayers’ fall 2026 personal property bills per state PPTR procedures. No amendment to county code was proposed; the action was an annual calculation used to apply state aid to eligible taxpayers.
