To reduce all titled vehicle personal property taxation values, except for mobile homes, from a Class IV assessment valuation to a Class II

HB 5534 would reclassify titled vehicles (like cars and trucks) in West Virginia from a higher tax class (Class IV) to a lower tax class (Class II) for property tax purposes. This change would directly affect vehicle owners in municipalities who pay personal property tax on their titled vehicles, excluding mobile homes. The bill modifies West Virginia Code §11-8-5 to move titled vehicles from municipal Class IV valuation to residential Class II valuation. If passed, this would lower the taxable value of these vehicles, reducing their property tax burden compared to current rates. The bill is currently pending in the House Finance Committee.
