If your property (vehicles or business property) remained in VA, you still owe the tax. That would be true if you were the joint owner on title with your ex-wife, for example. If not, you should contact the county tax office, but you will have to provide pretty good proof that the property was out of state. Also, if this is a court judgment, you will have to prove that it was not properly served, because otherwise it is final.
