Owners are required to obtain decals for vehicles within 60 days of purchase. Decal prices are reduced during the second half of the license year.
Information is included along with the annual renewal notice about where to purchase decals.
Decals can be purchased through the mail, at the County Treasurer's office, or at certain satellite sites set up during the month of February. Hanover County does not exchange Hanover decals for the decals of other localities. Under State law, a decal purchased in any Virginia jurisdiction must be honored by other Virginia localities until it expires. Out of state decals need to be replaced once someone registers a vehicle in Virginia with the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Search Copyright 2000 Hanover County, Virginia.
