Hi Bill,

It’s called “business tangible personal property tax”, and it’s technically levied by the counties, not by the state (although authorized by the legislature, as all local government activities must be in a Dillon’s Rule state).

Loudoun’s page on this (chosen at random because I live here... and can see The Cloud’s Cloud from my house) is at https://www.loudoun.gov/1556/Business-Tangible-Personal-Property-Tax
