Vehicle registration fees

Winner?! Ouch!

 

When you say property tax, are you saying that you pay your house taxes along with your car registration? if it is that way is not bad... if I add both I would be paying around 5k......

 

State is Ohio and county is Tuscarawas.

 

In SC you pay car property tax ($898) and house property tax ($648).

 

I just got my tag renewal.... and it’s $500.

 

Anything over $10 is extortion.

 

$60 here in Virginia. They do also have a car tax.

 

In South Dakota, paid about $100 for year including upgrade for veteran plate. Looks like I’m getting a bargain compared to most other places.

 

Just got mine here in CT, $264.80 for two years. 2018 Off Road

 

$0 for mine in New Mexico. Disabled Veteran plates. And you can have up to 2 vehicles registered with the permanent plates!

 

I would reconsider your living options. My wife and I left CA two years ago. Best decision we ever made.

 

$225 county property tax + $24 registration

 

A bit more than $500 last year for my 18 Limited in MN.

 

I think I pay like $6 in Texas.

 

It depends on when you bought it in GA. Under the old system you paid sales tax (7%) to the dealer when you purchased the vehicle. The dealer paid the tax to your local tax office. Then yearly (on your birthday) you paid ad valorem tax + a $20 tag fee. The tax is based on the vehicles value and it drops a little each year. I paid about $170 on my 2007 Tacoma in February to get a new tag.

But they changed the law 8-9 years ago. If you buy from an individual who does not collect sales tax you pay 7 1/2% of the vehicles value + $20 tag fee when you pick up the new tag. And you pay what they say it is worth. If dad sells you a car for $500 and the tag office says it is worth $5000, you pay tax on the $5000.

If I buy from a dealer they can still collect 7.5% tax and even roll it into the loan. Plus I only pay tax on the difference if I trade in. If I buy a $40,000 truck and they give me $15,000 in trade I pay tax on $25,000, not the full $40,000. Then each year on my birthday I only pay the $20 fee for a new tag.

Since I bought my Tacoma under the old system I pay tax yearly. Same with my Honda and our camper. But I have an F150 bought in 2016 and my utility trailer which only cost me $20/year since they were bought under the new system.

I really like the new system better. You pay 1/2% more up front, but that is it. No more tax on the vehicle, just a $20 fee every year to cover the costs of the new tag. I could sell my Tacoma to my wife and just pay the 7 1/2 % one time and then only pay $20/year on it. But when you do the math I'd have to keep the truck 7 more years to break even. I may well still have it, but who knows.

 

When I lived in Washington state it was $63 per vehicle, didn’t matter the value of the vehicle.
*Edited to add: I didn’t live in King County, so I didn’t get ass raped by the monorail or light rail tax that those unfortunate souls have to pay.

Here in good ole Arizona, the truck was about $550, wife’s car is about $450.

 

$85 in Wisconsin

 

I wonder about a lot of things....but never anything like this ^^^^ I'm blaming the mental strain of sheltering in place.

 

I would gleefully pay $1000 a year car property tax if that meant my house property tax was only 3x what you pay ($1950)

 

I pay $2600 a year property tax and I believe $180 for my truck for 2 years. My Harley is $49 a year. Of course that's Canadian too lol
