Pro-Ration

Winchester pro-rates personal property taxes levied on motor vehicles, (automobiles, trucks, vans, motorcycles) and trailers, and mobile homes.

Prorating means that a motor vehicle will be taxed only for that portion of the calendar year that the vehicle has tax situs (location where property is customarily kept) in the City of Winchester.

Personal property taxes on motor vehicles are prorated in monthly increments.

To apply for a prorated tax if a vehicle no longer has situs in the City, you need to contact the Commissioner of the Revenue’s office within thirty days.
