HOW YOU CAN GET CITY, COUNTY OR TOWN DECALS

Besides state motor vehicle registration, newcomers to the New River Valley also must obtain city, county or town decals each year from one of 15 local governments.

Radford residents obtain city decals, town residents obtain town decals, and county residents not within town limits obtain county decals.

In most jurisdictions, a decal will not be issued until the personal property tax on the vehicle is paid.
