Registration fee is ridiculous high
#33
We have annual registration, inspection and personal property tax on vehicles in NC.
Inspection - $30 + $10 for non-factory tinted windows
Registration - $28
Tax - $367 (based on an assessed value of $25,720 for my '07 GS350)
So ... $436 total

When I lived in MA we renewed every 2 years I believe for fairly cheap.. less than $50 I think but we got a yearly excise tax (paid to the town) based on an assessed value ($25 per $1,000) which exponentially declined the older the car was. Brandnew cars = bend over and grab your ankles. The assessed value does not line up with kbb or nada trade in or retail. It was always way less on a used car which is good for the tax payer.
I live in NJ now and I think I pay $75 a year. No excise tax.

Maybe find out what the tag fee will be BEFORE buying the car?
Mine was around $500 last year, you can thank GA for it. I had a wildlife tag that used to be a one time fee of $35 but now they want to charge you $35 every year for it. Then I drive around and a lot of roads need work, the toll road here still has a toll (though its paid off early) and they tell me the state is broke.
Since our city is polluted, we also pay a $25-$25 emissions fee every year in the metro area counties. Nevermind two of our cars are hybrids and are SULEV compliant.
Contrarily I believe our lovely state of TN has a flat $20 tag fee.

I thought everyone in CA was rich??
Here in IL it recently jumped to about $100/yr for cars - was $78 for a while.
My motorcycle is $46/yr w/ a personalized plate, otherwise it'd be like $39.
No complaints here.
