What is PPA7-0726?
Instructions: Reporting When You Don't Have the Vehicle Anymore is the Loudoun County Commissioner of the Revenue's step-by-step guide (printed code PPA7-0726, headed "Account Update Instructions: When You Don't Have the Vehicle Anymore") for informing the county that you no longer own or lease a vehicle.
The guide is not a paper form to sign and mail. It walks through screens of the county's online account system, starting at loudoun.gov/efile. You log in to your existing account, open the vehicle record, choose Move Out/Dispose and enter the disposal details. When the update is finished, the system confirms that you have reported to Loudoun County that you no longer own or lease a vehicle that was part of your account record.
The guide states the underlying duty: when you don't own or lease a vehicle anymore, you must inform Loudoun County that it has been sold, donated or otherwise disposed of. It applies to your local vehicle personal property tax account, so it is for people who have already created an account and registered the vehicle.
The guide also covers the system's general tips, such as how errors are shown, and points to the Commissioner of the Revenue for help with local vehicle personal property taxes.
Who needs to file PPA7-0726?
Vehicle owners or lessees who have an account with the Loudoun County Commissioner of the Revenue and no longer own or lease a vehicle listed on it use this guide. The county says you must inform it when the vehicle has been sold, donated or otherwise disposed of.
The guide assumes you have already created an account and registered your vehicle. To log in you need three items:
- your six-digit account number;
- your taxpayer identification number (SSN/FEIN);
- the zip code of your mailing address.
If you have a replacement vehicle, the last screen offers a Register a Vehicle button so you can register it. The guide does not describe anyone signing or filing on another person's behalf.
It does not cover paying a bill. Payments are made at loudoun.gov/paymybill.
When to file PPA7-0726
Report the vehicle when you no longer own or lease it, that is, once it has been sold, donated or otherwise disposed of. The guide prints no separate due date.
During the report you enter the date the disposal became effective, so have that date and the reason you no longer own or lease the vehicle ready before you log in. The online update is completed in one session, ending with Close Item. The system then confirms that your report was made.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Typing dashes in your tax ID or phone number; the system asks you to enter them without dashes.
- Ignoring a red box on a page; it marks an error and contains an explanation you need to fix before continuing.
- Selecting the wrong vehicle on the Account Billable Items screen instead of checking that the information shown is for the vehicle you no longer own.
- Leaving out the date the disposal became effective or the reason you no longer own or lease the vehicle.
- Entering an email address that does not match its confirmation entry in the submitter information.
- Stopping before clicking Close Item, which finishes the report.
- Trying to log in without the six-digit account number, taxpayer identification number (SSN/FEIN) and mailing zip code.
