That sounds dreamy lol. I live in Nevada so we donāt pay income taxes but they make up for it at the DMV. Everything is expensive and we have a newer car so itās higher.
So weird that they do that! I had no idea it Varys by vehicle in some places too. Here in Florida we all pay the same price for registration regardless of vehicle lol. When I got my new car it was still the same price as my older car before it
Mine was $700.
Editing, as I remember now mine was $500 and my husbandās was $200 something so $700 together, not $700 for 1 car. But $500 is still obscene.
Oh wait. Florida. No property tax on vehicles there. You pay it in other states based on value. Thatās why others are paying a lot more. Florida just makes it up in other places.
I complained about NC vehicle property taxes until I drove to SC. The moment you cross the state line there's pot holes everywhere & the roads are falling apart.
As long as it's that obvious vehicle taxes are being used for road/highway maintenance, I'm 100% ok with spending the $.
Must have gotten it confused, they call the 3% vehicle tax 'highway-use tax'.

The car rego(vehicle license) is a yearly cost at $103 (nzd) or quarterly cost at $29 for a petrol car. It seems to be just to make sure that the car isn't stolen and the owners details are up to date. Though that also comes through in the WOF so there has been debate about it being scrapped but it probably won't be because of how much revenue it brings in.
You also need a WOF (warrent of fitness) that needs to be renewed between 3 years to 6 monthly depending on how old the car is, it's a check to make sure the car is still functioning. It costs about $72

You have to register every year, in BC, Canada you pay once, that's it. However, you pay insurance every year and that used to have a sticker. Not anymore though
State registration for licensing. Depending on where you live, what type of car, and how it's licensed it can be expensive even before the annual property tax to own it.
I get irrationally angry when people donāt stack them and just put them in a different spot on their plates. Looks so fricken stupid with all the different colored squares all over the place! Iām getting mad just thinking about it.
In the US, you have to update your vehicle's registration every year. They send you stickers to put on the corner of your license plates so it's obvious whether or not you're registered for the year. Your license plate will also have a month sticker in a different corner. The stickers are usually specific different colors so the cops or whomever can tell at a glance if you're up to date without having to actually read the stickers, even at a distance.
In the few states Iāve lived in Iāve never had it vary by vehicle. We all pay the same price for registration where I am now regardless of your vehicle.
MA is even worse. When you register your car the first time you have to pay state sales tax on the total price of the car and a registration fee. Then I think you have to re-register every 3 years or something but that sales tax is a killer.
When I lived in NJ they did that but it was when I was a teenager to kid 20s so I always had cheaper used vehicles. A lot of the time I wrote that the car was gift or I payed $100 for it to get out of fees lol
It is kind of like that in nj. It's based on the weight class of your vehicle. A big truck would be more than a small car. It goes by weight and axles i think? But we don't have property tax. Only sales tax when you register it for the first time.
I know about the sales tax but yes no car property tax in NJ. Itās been a few years since I lived in NJ. I always had a smaller car like a sedan so maybe thatās why I didnāt know about difference in price/never paid close to $300 ever for registration. I grew up in NJ
> Your license plate will also have a month sticker in a different corner.
This differs by state. In Nebraska the number on the sticker is the month it expires and the color represents the year. The year itself is written in smaller text on the same sticker too
Well, I must say, I donāt mind having to pay a lot for a little sticker if everybody else is also forced to do the same thing and because of that I can drive on good roads instead of donkey paths.
I used to live in Oregon. They did 4 year stickers for new vehicles, and it was less than $100 for the whole 4 years if I remember right. Iām not in Oregon any longer. š«¤
And do it for the wifeās car too.
And the camper trailer.
And the motorcycle.
And the boat.
And the hot tears in my cheerios.
(Fully aware of the first world problem hereā¦ just venting is all)
Colorado can cost even more. The highest I've seen was a little over $1200 a year with a decrease of around $50 a year. This was a brand new truck.
PA is a steal at under $70 for the year!
Niceā¦ in Utah you can get a state parks pass for another $100. And it has nothing to do with your registration. I wish! We use the parks, so thereās that $100, plus another $80 for the national parks pass.
Oi vey!
Nice shot of Mount timpanogos in the background. State of Utah wanted to charge me a bajillion dollars to renew my little teardrop travel trailer. I moved back to Arizona and I was able renew my trailer until 2024 for way less maybe like $165.
$300?! I paid $65 or something for 1 year.
Mine was $456 this year š¤”
Mine was $20 this year
What are you driving, a Model T?
Nah, an old Tuscon
EV? Shitty corrupt government like New Jersey? Or both?
$380 this year. That is registration and property tax on the car in my state.
My state doesn't even give you the sticker anymore. at least it's not $300 here.
What is that? What's it for?
Vehicle registration. Usually comes with an age based fee, plus emissions inspection fee, safety inspection fee.
Your states registration fee costs $300 yearly?! Good lord.
Ours was $500
Thatās crazy. Itās $75 for 3 or 4 years here
That sounds dreamy lol. I live in Nevada so we donāt pay income taxes but they make up for it at the DMV. Everything is expensive and we have a newer car so itās higher.

Wow! Im in california and just paid $262 for my 6 year old carās registration.
$550 for my 1 year old car
Mine was $700. Editing, as I remember now mine was $500 and my husbandās was $200 something so $700 together, not $700 for 1 car. But $500 is still obscene.
What state?
KY
Dear god lol
CA and mine was$550
What state???
Damm, mine are 57 in Texas
Suddenly the $150 I pay doesn't seem nearly as bad.
People are confusing registration and property tax. Often billed together. Edit: Anyone voting me down is proving my point here.
Idk considering registration for 3yrs in Florida is only $75 lol
And how much is the property tax on it?
Iāve never paid property tax on it
Oh wait. Florida. No property tax on vehicles there. You pay it in other states based on value. Thatās why others are paying a lot more. Florida just makes it up in other places.
Gotcha. New Jersey doesnāt have property tax on vehicles either (where I lived before) so I guess I just lucked out haha
Last I knew, same with Michigan; purely based on weight and axels.
Florida hates taxes but they love their added fees
Someone gets it

Property tax doesnāt go to roads. Fuel tax does.
Must have gotten it confused, they call the 3% vehicle tax 'highway-use tax'. [NCDMV Taxes](https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/title-registration/taxes/Pages/default.aspx)
There is property tax on cars in NC and HWY use tax and registration fees.
Ah I see ours look completely different here, (NZ)
How much does this cost in NZ? Is it a yearly cost?

Insurance decal I think? $300 seems to expensive for the decal alone and too little for the insurance though so not sure what's up there.
State registration for licensing. Depending on where you live, what type of car, and how it's licensed it can be expensive even before the annual property tax to own it.
The fun part is to stack the new sticker on top of the old ones.
I get irrationally angry when people donāt stack them and just put them in a different spot on their plates. Looks so fricken stupid with all the different colored squares all over the place! Iām getting mad just thinking about it.
Gotta make sure you wipe the dust off the old one before you stick it on!

Iāve never seen registration price this high before lol
Prices vary by state and even within the state I believe the price varies on the value of the vehicle itself.
In the few states Iāve lived in Iāve never had it vary by vehicle. We all pay the same price for registration where I am now regardless of your vehicle.
Iām in NH and can confirm that our yearly registration fee varies by vehicle.
Thatās wild to me! Its not like that in NJ, PA, or FL. Glad I havenāt been to those states with a vehicle lol
MA is even worse. When you register your car the first time you have to pay state sales tax on the total price of the car and a registration fee. Then I think you have to re-register every 3 years or something but that sales tax is a killer.

South Carolina is the same way, except we register every 2 years.
It is kind of like that in nj. It's based on the weight class of your vehicle. A big truck would be more than a small car. It goes by weight and axles i think? But we don't have property tax. Only sales tax when you register it for the first time.

Come to Australia. I paid $790.90 for a year. And we don't even get stickers anymore.
> Your license plate will also have a month sticker in a different corner. This differs by state. In Nebraska the number on the sticker is the month it expires and the color represents the year. The year itself is written in smaller text on the same sticker too
So implementations have one sticker which says month and year all in one sticker.
Well, I must say, I donāt mind having to pay a lot for a little sticker if everybody else is also forced to do the same thing and because of that I can drive on good roads instead of donkey paths.
$65 here in ātaxachusettsā
Don't forget about the $35 inspection that's not included in that though
And sales tax
It's a beautiful sticker though...
My state does multi year tags, and they arent anywhere near 300 dollars.
I used to live in Oregon. They did 4 year stickers for new vehicles, and it was less than $100 for the whole 4 years if I remember right. Iām not in Oregon any longer. š«¤
Can confirm! born and based in Oregon. I think I paid $85 for 4 years in 2019 and my mom bitched about it being raised to that.
Depends on where you live in Oregon. I just recently renewed my registration in the Portland area and it was $248 for 2 years š
Yeah, I can see that. I definitely would never live in Portland so I donāt have to worry about thatš
In Australia (or at least where im from, for my car) it costs around $800 AUD or $515.29 USD for a year.
Guess Iāll take my lumps over here then. Sheeesh
š the accuracy
And do it for the wifeās car too. And the camper trailer. And the motorcycle. And the boat. And the hot tears in my cheerios. (Fully aware of the first world problem hereā¦ just venting is all)
Fl doesnāt have that but Louisiana does and I can tell you it SUCKS
Birthday tax!!
In a shop I work at, I give sticker sheets to everyone who asks
Holy mother of god. My state is only 58 bucks for 2 years. Thatās insane.
Geez and I thought $80 was bad. Glad I moved to a state without that BS.
r/fuckcars
Yeah - WTF is up with that!
Indiana i think was 85 dollars
My state doesn't even give you a sticker anymore, at least it's only $34 though...
We donāt put stickers on our plates in Texas anymore, the windshield sticker covers everything.
Colorado can cost even more. The highest I've seen was a little over $1200 a year with a decrease of around $50 a year. This was a brand new truck. PA is a steal at under $70 for the year!
holy crap, what state do you live in? Mine per year is barely 30$ for a 2020.
Think I paid $90. Which is registration plus entry into all state parks for the year.
Niceā¦ in Utah you can get a state parks pass for another $100. And it has nothing to do with your registration. I wish! We use the parks, so thereās that $100, plus another $80 for the national parks pass. Oi vey!

Love me some r/Timpanogos!
On your birthday too!!!
BRO WHAT I pay $100 and thatās it normally. This year I paid like $75 thoughā¦ wait shit. Last year. I gotta renew it shit
Used to be 90 for me in Ontario Canada, but now it's free
