Personal property tax applies to the assessed value of tangible personal property including all motor vehicles (cars, trucks, motor homes, and motorcycles), trailers, mobile homes, and boats. The City of Fredericksburg is a prorating locality. Property is assessed based on the actual length of time that the property has situs in the city.
