I am with DJ on the trailer registration, the property taxes and such are not that much, and I'd rather know I'm 100% legal with it versus take chances otherwise.
Your lease company isn't going to require that you pay your property tax, it's your local municipality. NC and SC both require that you pay your property tax on your vehicle before they will renew your registration every year. So if you aren't paying property tax on your truck, it's because your area doesn't have a car tax. My guess is that you just haven't seen the yearly bill for it yet.
FYI my brother leases his S3 and had to pay property tax in VA and in DC when he just moved (you can request a prorated refund if you move or sell the vehicle, which I always do. I just got a few hundo back from the state for my Canyon). It isn't tied to a specific make of car.
The Virginia DMV website does not show the F150 listed under "my vehicles" - just my trailer. My buddy at the Ford dealer (who is the sales manager and presumably knows his shit) said Ford covered the PP tax for leases in Virginia. I'm not sure how they do it, but it was a big incentive to lease the truck instead of purchase it. I have not seen a bill, have had the truck since early March, and already seen/paid the bills for the Range Rover and trailer.
Maybe it's different brand to brand?
Who knows, it's possible. Since it sounds like VA tax is in arrears, they may have absorbed the tax you owed for the first three months of the year (or possibly rolled it into your fees / payment). I'd be really surprised if you did not get a tax bill next March for the prior year, but if you don't that's awesome
