In New Hampshire no sales tax. We pay split fees for vehicles each year. There’s the town part which is based on the residual value of the vehicle And varies from town to town just like property tax and then the State part which most would call the registration fee. Neither is called a tax for obvious reasons.

My mind is blown. Ive never heard of property tax for a vehicle. Weird.

I get to not only pay 6.5% sales tax, but also yearly property tax!

I don't have property tax on vehicles, but apparently I had an almost $600 new vehicle "privilege" tax from my ghetto ass city that got tacked on to my DMV registration fees at the dealer. You'd think I lived somewhere nice with a city collecting privilege tax on every new vehicle, but I have homeless shitting in my front yard

Nothing in PA either but there is a sales tax.

We certainly do have "property tax" in PA, but is on buildings and land, not vehicles. It's how we fund schools and local municipalities.

Then we have 6-7% sales tax on vehicles when purchased or 9% on leases. Plus 3.7% state income tax to provide for the largest state legislature outside of California as well as if not highest, one of the highest gas taxes which is supposed to fund highways but it ends up in the general slush fund instead

Wow. I can't believe people have to pay yearly taxes on a vehicle outside of tag fees.

Yes but they don't pay $5000-$10,000 annually for the nice roof over their head in city-county-school tax

We don't have that in NY - they kill us in every other taxable way though.

In PA we pay extra tax on our gas which is supposed to go to repairing our roads and bridges. Turns out a huge portion has been going to the state police instead. Hence why we have shitty roads and collapsed/shitty bridges. Extra tax on alcohol too.

We just pay sales tax. 7% in Allegheny. And a registration fee every year as low as $60 and goes up based on vehicle class. $83 for class 2 which is most half ton trucks.

Wait some states make you pay an annual property tax on the vehicle you own? Does that then not apply if you lease the vehicle? And how to they factor in depreciation? What a joke.

Why is that a joke? You must be smarter than most... right? Google it.

Don’t want to break any of the no politics rules on here. But I legit had never heard of property taxes on a vehicle before this thread, the concept never crossed my mind.

Me neither. We don't have sales tax or property tax on vehicles. We pay our taxes in other ways of course.

Looks like half of the states in the country have annual property taxes on vehicles according to this list halfway down the page from Wallethub: 2022’s Property Taxes by State (wallethub.com)

Neither do we in FL.

No property Tax in AZ.

You pay sales tax based on the county and city. So I think I am saving about $300 by choosing a dealer in a lower tax city. I could save another $120 by driving all the way across town, but I'd probably spend at least half that much in gas.

Vehicle license and registration is based on age and presumably value of vehicle. My wife's new F-150 was $465 including $25 for the personalized plate.

Sticker on the 150 was $42k as I recall.

Since I still don't have a Bronco, I don't know what mine will be, but it ought to be around $320 on my base based on the sticker difference between a Base Bronco and an F-150 STX

The “property tax” you speak of is collected in the form of your vehicle license tax on your registration, you are still paying in the form of the $465 on your F-150. I moved from AZ to MA in 2020. I did an analysis and was surprised to find that the net cost to buy and register a vehicle in Taxachusetts was actually lower than Free America AZ. Sales tax was the biggest difference at MA 6.25% to Flagstaff at 9.18%, but the MA excise tax drops more aggressively than AZ’s VLT, the break even point isn’t until 10 years in. MA registration fees are $120 with 10% excise tax forever, AZ registration and VLT get down to $18 after a while so older cars are cheaper in AZ.

I just got a property (excise) tax bill on my Badlands, $608 for 2022. They charged me the 50% for some reason, so I’ll pay more next year.

This is a VLT calculator for AZ on a $47,035 Badlands.
