Tag fee shock!!!

[dgl24087]

No one has yet mentioned the Virginia Personal Property tax on vehicles, so I will chime in...
Virginia taxes personal property at NADA blue book value annually. I think it is right around 4% or so. Cost me roughly $1,000 last year for tax and $65 for actual tags for my '06 Dodge 2500. Since it is registered for 10k gross, it does not get a tax rebate like vehicles less than 8k gross. Now my '02 Ranger was around $100 tax and $65 tags... Makes one wonder where the money is being used. My gravel road has potholes approaching the size of an old VW beetle....

Montgomery Co., VA. 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 ppt $96.24, 2005 Ford Taurus $47.80.

Florida decided to raise its tag fees this year. So mine went from $ 104 to $ 153.35 for the Chevy 3500 Dually. How's everybody else doing?

i didnt think anything about this till i got my tag bill in the mail.

IL decided to hike the fee for a reg car $20.

In Michigan - just got my renewal.....$156 for an 06 F-350 4X4 dually diesel.

Trailer plates are "permanent"....one time fee. Just paid $75 for my new 16' dual axle carhauler, but had to pay $215 for the 30' gooseneck....which weighs #7600. (fees go by weight)

Not so bad compared to some others I see.
Now I just have to keep my MI plates when I move to ....sssssshhhhhhhh.......

Many years ago, Texas registration fees were simply based on weight, and were easy to calculate. But as everything else got more complex and complicated, so did those fees. But now you can see what the fees are at this website.

23 years ago I bought my then 10 year old 1987 Samurai for $1,050... it's been a real workhorse and except for battery purchases and one set of tires has needed nothing.

Paid $217 this morning for tags with required Smog Inspection on my now 33 year old Sammy and now good for another 12 months.

I waited for the Smog Inspection and while on Dynamometer at speed the mechanic mistakenly tried to "Shift" grabbing the transfer case lever instead of the gearshift... the sound of grinding gears was excruciating... (Rear wheels running at 40 mph and the front stationary)

Shop said let them know if any problem shows up... I carefully felt the teeth and didn't notice and chipped or missing one.

So no harm, no foul?

Shop owner has been doing inspection for 35 years... but hasn't had a stick on the dyno this year...

Tag Fee without inspection on the 1987 Suzuki is now $139.00 This about the cheapest possible.

At one time I had 24 vehicle tagged but now down to 3... the rest are non-op registered for a one time $22 fee not to drive.

If vehicle is delinquent back fees and steep penalties capped at 3 years arrearage... sometimes in means an older vehicle is donated because the delinquent can easily be over a grand.

I don’t remember the exact numbers but trailer tags went from something like $40 to a $140 here in Illinois. Cars and light trucks are $151. 3 vehicles and a trailer add up.
