Vehicle Registration

STOP!
Your vehicle must be garaged in a City of Falls Church jurisdictional address to continue. The City listed on your mailing address is not necessarily the same as your jurisdiction. Falls Church City is a 2.02 square mile jurisdiction that does not include the greater mailing area of Falls Church. You can validate your jurisdiction by visiting the link below. You cannot submit a registration through this site for another jurisdiction! Any such registration attempts will be discarded. For example, an address in Pimitt Hills will say Falls Church for the City mailing address, however all addresses in Pimitt Hills are actually under the jurisdiction of Fairfax County.

Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (PL 111-97)
Enacted November 2009, the MSRRA states that a Military servicemember's spouse is exempted from personal property taxation provided their domicile is another state, both the servicemember and spouse claim the same state of domicile, the servicemember is here on assignment, and the spouse is here solely to reside with the servicemember.

To claim exemption from personal property tax the Commissioner requires proof of qualification. The military servicemembers's Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) is required in all circumstances.
