A bill (H.B. 4222) in the West Virginia Legislature to provide owners of antique motor vehicles with a reduced personal property tax assessment has been passed by the Roads and Transportation Committee. The bill is now pending in the House Finance Committee for consideration.
We Urge You to Contact the Finance Committee Members (List Attached) Immediately To Request Their Support for H.B. 4222.
- West Virginia law defines an "Antique motor vehicle" to mean any motor vehicle which is more than twenty-five years old and is owned solely as a collector's item.
- H.B. 4222 provides that for the purposes of the property tax, the assessed value of an antique vehicle cannot exceed $200. Under the bill, the maximum amount of tax that could be due for an antique vehicle being titled for the first time would be 5% of the assessed value, or a maximum of $10. Thereafter, the maximum amount of personal property tax due annually would be $2.00 for every $100 assessed in value, or a maximum of $4.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the West Virginia House Finance Committee immediately to request their support of H.B. 4222. Please e-mail a copy of your letter to Steve McDonald at stevem@sema.org. Thank you for your assistance.
