Set Up A Payment Plan

You can only set up a payment plan if you've received a bill from us. If you haven't received a bill, you can still make payments using one of our other payment options.

Do you qualify? 

You may be eligible to set up a payment plan with us if you owe less than $25,000 in combined tax, penalties, and interest, and do not have any of the following collection actions on your account: 

  • Padlock, revocation, criminal warrant, or bond
  • Tax lien issued to an employer or bank, bankruptcy, or assignment to an outside collection agency or a Virginia Tax field agent

Individual taxpayers may set up a payment plan for up to 5 years. 

If you're not eligible to set up an automated payment plan, you may still be able to set up a payment plan with one of our representatives by calling 804.367.8045.

Tips for setting up your payment plan

  • Set up the shortest payment agreement you can afford to avoid additional penalties and interest. 
  • Use your online services account to be able to manage and review your plan 24/7.  
  • Set up automatic payments, and never forget to make a payment.
  • Sign up for email reminders to get updates on your upcoming payments and any new bills.
  • Keep your account information up-to-date, especially your mailing address, to make sure you get any correspondence from us regarding your account.
