Updated 12:35 p.m. -- Personal property tax bills are in the mail, and for some Manassas residents, they're eye-popping.

William "Billy" Tucker was shocked when he received a bill for $2,543, up from $1,938 last year. The value of his wife's 2019 Kia Credenza is assessed 18% over the past year, now valued at over $33,000, and his Dodge truck up more than $7,000 in a year, at $45,500.

His daughter drives a 2007 Honda Accord that Demeria says is worth $4,400, $870 more than last year. "I know I can't get $4,400 for it if I tried to sell it," said Tucker.
