HB 4874 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Combining rolls of the Assessor’s Office and Division of Motor Vehicles

HB 4874 requires West Virginia's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to provide the Tax Assessor's Office with vehicle registration records. This change would streamline annual personal property tax assessments by eliminating duplicate data collection, as the Assessor's Office would use the DMV's existing vehicle records instead of gathering them separately. The bill directly affects the Tax Assessor's Office and the DMV, mandating the DMV to share these records. It does not change tax rates or assessment methods, only the process for compiling property data.
