Cigarettes sold in Northern Virginia, with the exception of Arlington, fall under the jurisdiction of the Northern Virginia Cigarette Tax Board. A tax stamp is affixed to the bottom of every pack of cigarettes, with a roll number that NVCTB enforcement agents can check to determine if proper tax has been paid within a specific locality. In Northern Virginia local taxes can range from a low of 15 cents in Warrenton to a high of 85 cents in Fairfax City.
