The assertion of "statute of limitations" is an afirmative defense, meaning if you don't raise it, then it does not protect you. In order to take advantage of the statute, you have to assert it in the case. In Virginia, the statute of limitations for property damage is one (1) year. Now, there may be some Virginia statute allowing a government to collect for damages to government property, but I gotta believe that 15 years is just way too long!
