I have a question about keeping my inoperable vehicles. I figured a few of you have a couple of parts cars in the backyard and wanted to get your take on this.
We just moved from Chesapeake to CA. My 2 Annies are presently at my moms house in Spotsylvania, neither of them are tagged at the DMV. The City of Chesapeake has sent me the 2010 Tax bill for them, but of course they have a 0 balance after the 100% Car Tax Credit on them. Chesapeake however still wants the city license fee of $23 each. I have tried to tell them I do not live in Chesapeake anymore, and have moved my other two vehicles with me here to CA, just have not had the Annie shipped over yet. It may be a year or so until I can save enough to have them shipped over, but they are fine in storage at my moms house for now. They told me I need to register them in another location and send them proof of registration. I do not need them registered, as I do not drive them and they are inoperable. I hold the title to both of them. Should I just keep paying Chesapeake their money for these vehicles, or do I just not pay it? The mail will stop being forwarded after a year, so I won't get the city fee bill next year. What is the worst that can happen? In CA I can file a PNO (Planned non operational) for them and not have the do anything since they aren't on the road.. I can't find anything like that on the VA DMV website. I see plenty of vehicles sitting in backyards and up on blocks all over the place, and I am pretty sure no one pays license fees for them. How do I stop this?
