Background:  In accordance with the Virginia Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA), the city is required to annually establish the personal property tax relief percentage to be applied to qualified vehicles.  The 2005 revisions to the Personal Property Tax Relief Act of 1988 (“the 2005 Amendments”) modified the method of state reimbursement for personal property tax relief from a variable percentage to a fixed sum of money payable to each locality.  The 2005 Amendments and Section 35-9 of the Portsmouth City Code require that the city annually establish a personal property tax relief percentage such that the total relief provided to qualifying taxpayers will exhaust the funds to be allocated to the locality by the Commonwealth.
