Technical issues with Fairfax County’s car tax payment portal drew ire from residents this week, forcing some to make payments in-person and adding to already long lines for early voting.
In response to website issues, the county has waived penalties and interest on personal property payments made by 11:59 p.m. today (Tuesday).
According to Tony Castrilli, the county’s communications director, the county is working with its vendor to resolve the issue. “To make adjustments that will ensure as many payments as possible can be processed,” he said.
Some residents said the issue compounded already long lines at the Fairfax County Government Center (12000 Government Center Parkway).
Payments can be made online, by mail, by phone, and in person. Payments postmarked on or before today (Tuesday) are considered on time.
“We apologize for the inconvenience,” Castrilli added.
