HOLY!
Bikes = $20/each regardless of what they are.
Pickup = $135 (w/NG plates)
Car = $110
Explorer = $120

So $405/year for our vehicles, glad they are spread out a bit.

It cost me $36 for three years in Virginia. Last time I did it in CA it cost me about $1200 (annual). About 4 grand in tax to register the first time.

Most Californians have no idea how out of control their taxes are.

And yet, all anyone talks about is who is going to pay more taxes to fund our astonishing about of debt. Nobody talks about cutting spending. Like, ever. This state is broken, and you'd think 500k residents leaving every year would be a wakeup call.

There is another factor too, all the taxes the state is taking in it would be kind of worth it if things were run well. From my experience they are not.

It's $24 for anything in both of the counties I lived in recently.

car/truck/motorcycle. Commercial stuff is probably different.

The GS is a little more because it's a personalized plate.

Ours aren't bad at all, but those are some cheap fucking prices... TN and TX...

I think it's like $50 for the bike and $75 for my truck... It's based on weight...

For my one car w/ custom plates I think it's over 230$ for 2 yrs..

My bike was 42$.. when I had one.

Vehicle registrations are cheap here. They are spread out throughout the year, but I think I pay somewhere around $200-$250 for 2 pickups, a car and a pair of motorcycles. Inspections are all pretty cheap, too.

We also don't have a state income tax. Property taxes are higher than some places I've lived, but a lot lower than others. Overall, I think I pay less here in total taxes than anywhere I've ever lived.

Exactly, in CA you get hit with like 9 or 9.5% sales tax when you buy the car, depending on the county, and then when you renew each year it's still based partly on the vehicle's value.

It's funny, each state tries to spin it a different way. At least Missouri is honest about it, they call it an annual assessment, because that's exactly what it is, a property tax, based on the value of the vehicle.
