MOTOR VEHICLE GAP BILLING
Mecklenburg County is responsible for assessing, billing, and collecting taxes on registered motor vehicles for months that were previously untaxed between the registration and renewal dates. This is known as Gap Billing. Legislation enacted during the 2017 General Assembly Session established the requirements and procedures to conduct gap billing.
