2026 tax calendar

Hampton bills personal property twice each year

January–June tax period June 5, 2026

The first regular installment deadline has passed.

Supplemental tax Check bill date

Supplemental assessments can follow a different billing schedule.

June installment

Tax covers January 1 through June 30.

Regular bills are mailed on the last Friday in April.

December installment

Tax covers July 1 through December 31.

Regular bills are mailed on the last Friday in October.

Didn’t receive a bill? Hampton states that failure to receive a bill does not eliminate the taxpayer’s responsibility. Use MyHampton or contact the Treasurer before the deadline.
Supplemental-bill guidance is not expressed identically across Hampton pages. The annual due-date page says prior-year supplements are due 30 days from billing, while the personal-property FAQ describes supplemental bills issued monthly with their own due-date cycle. Follow the date printed on the specific supplemental bill and confirm with the Treasurer when uncertain.
Vehicle assessment

The standard Hampton vehicle rate is $4.50 per $100

January 1 value drives the assessment

Hampton assesses personal property at fair market value. Its current rate table lists passenger cars, pickup trucks, vans and motorcycles at $4.50 per $100 of assessed value.

The Commissioner of the Revenue uses recognized pricing guides and purchase-cost tables depending on the type of personal property.

Car tax relief

PPTRA applies only to qualifying personal-use vehicles

Relief applies to the first $20,000

Hampton’s PPTRA program can reduce tax on qualifying passenger cars, motorcycles and qualifying pickup or panel trucks weighing less than 7,501 pounds.

Qualifying vehicles assessed at $1,000 or less have their vehicle tax eliminated. For vehicles above that level, the applicable relief percentage varies by tax year and is reflected on the tax bill.

Basic qualification check

Correct vehicle Passenger car, motorcycle or qualifying pickup/panel truck.
Weight rule Pickup or panel truck must meet the published gross-weight requirement.
Individual ownership Generally owned or qualifying-leased by an individual.
Not business-use vehicle Business-use tests can disqualify the vehicle from PPTRA.

Hampton’s business-use warning

Examples that can cause a vehicle to be treated as business use
Condition
Why it matters
More than 50% of depreciation deducted as business expense
Can make vehicle ineligible for PPTRA.
More than 50% of mileage used as business expense or reimbursed
Can make vehicle ineligible for relief.
Vehicle cost expensed under IRS Section 179
Hampton lists this as business-use criteria.
Leasing company pays tax without reimbursement from individual
Can prevent normal individual PPTRA qualification.
Paying the bill certifies the qualification. Hampton tells taxpayers to review the PPTRA designation because payment certifies that the vehicle has been qualified correctly.
Read Hampton PPTRA rules PPTRA help: 757-727-6183
Vehicle license fee

The December bill can include a separate “License Fee”

Hampton’s annual vehicle license charge is assessed separately from the vehicle personal property tax. The Treasurer FAQ states that the annual license fee normally appears on the December 5 personal-property bill.

$35.00 Passenger vehicle under 4,000 lbs
$40.00 Passenger vehicle over 4,000 lbs
$17.00 Motorcycle
$6.50 Trailer under 1,500 lbs
$20.50 Trailer over 1,500 lbs
$6.50 Boat trailer
$20.00 Camping / travel trailer
$20.00 Motor home
Special plate situations: Hampton publishes no license fee for antique vehicles, one qualifying disabled-veteran vehicle and Prisoner of War plates, while National Guard plates are listed at one-half of the normal current license fee.

Assessment correction

Challenge the value with the Commissioner—not the Treasurer

The Treasurer collects the amount placed on the tax roll. Questions about fair market value, vehicle condition or another assessment fact belong with the Commissioner of the Revenue.

Useful assessment evidence
  • January 1 vehicle condition
  • Major unrepaired body damage
  • Mechanical condition materially affecting value
  • Photos
  • Repair estimate
  • Appraisal or other credible market evidence
  • Correct vehicle identification and equipment
Wrong office or weak evidence
  • Calling the Treasurer about valuation
  • Only saying the tax is too expensive
  • Using damage that happened after the valuation date
  • Comparing with a different vehicle configuration
  • Ignoring PPTRA or license-fee portions of the bill
High mileage: Hampton’s Tax Appeals, Refunds & Relief section includes a personal-property appeal/high-mileage route. Because mileage standards and evidence requirements can change, verify the current threshold and proof requirements with the Commissioner before preparing the appeal.
Assessment call script “I am reviewing personal-property account [number] for [year/make/model]. I believe the January 1 assessment does not reflect [condition, mileage or factual issue]. What current appeal or high-mileage documentation should I submit?”

Military and veteran vehicles

Hampton has several different military-related tax treatments

Non-Virginia active duty Hampton states that qualifying active-duty military members who are not Virginia legal residents can be exempt from personal property tax and vehicle license fees on vehicles owned solely by the service member.
Qualifying military spouse A spouse may qualify under federal military residency rules depending on title, residency and required documentation.
Disabled veteran vehicle Hampton provides a reduced rate or exemption on one qualifying vehicle under applicable Virginia disability rules.

Active-duty exemption preparation

Confirm legal residence The standard active-duty exemption discussed by Hampton applies to qualifying members who are not Virginia legal residents.
Prepare vehicle registration Ownership and registration must support the exemption.
Prepare current LES Hampton requests an LES no older than 90 days showing required residency and service information.
Send the exemption request to the Commissioner Do not simply deduct the tax from the bill yourself.
Disabled veteran: Hampton publishes a nominal reduced rate of $.000001 per $100 for one qualifying vehicle under one disabled-veteran provision. A separate Virginia exemption may fully exempt one qualifying personal-use passenger car or pickup/panel truck owned and used primarily by or for a veteran rated 100% service-connected, permanent and total.

Beyond cars

Hampton personal property includes more than passenger vehicles

Motorcycles Taxable personal property and potentially PPTRA-eligible when requirements are met.
Trailers Tax rates vary by trailer classification; ordinary PPTRA does not apply.
Boats Hampton uses separate boat/watercraft rules and very low rates for qualifying privately owned recreational pleasure boats.
Motor homes Published rate differs from ordinary cars; not eligible for ordinary PPTRA.
Aircraft Treated as local mobile personal property using the applicable assessment method.
Mobile homes Hampton publishes a separate mobile-home assessment method and tax rate.
Business vehicles Can use different assessment treatment and ordinarily do not qualify for personal-use PPTRA.
Business equipment Separate filing process; businesses report taxable tangible assets annually.
Local mobile property appeals: Hampton publishes a separate appeal path for airplanes, boats, campers, recreational vehicles and trailers. The application must identify the taxpayer, requested remedy, alleged assessment error and supporting facts.

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
