Nottoway County collects revenue in a variety of ways. Real estate and personal property constitute the major source of taxable revenue. Responsibility of assessing taxable real estate and personal property is held by the Commissioner of the the Revenue.

The Commissioner, with assistance of a periodic countywide property re-assessment, building permit information, and Department of Motor Vehicle records, fixes fair market value on which the tax rate is attached. The tax rate is set by the Board of Supervisors on an annual basis.

Real estate worth is re-evaluated approximately every five years by independent land assessing contractors. The Commissioner of the Revenue is responsible to assess value of new homes and changes in existing homes that alter the fair market value between re-assessment years.

Personal property (mostly personal vehicles) is based on the location of the property on January 1st of the taxable year. Vehicle value is based on the "loan" value of similar vehicles as listed in pricing guides such as the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) used car guides.

Tangible personal property used in a trade or a business (furniture, fixtures, computers, machinery & tools) is also valued by the Commissioner’s office. The office uses a depreciating scale to determine value from one year to the next.

The Commissioner also issues county business licenses. Gross receipts are used to set the license fee.
