Annual Vehicle Registration Renewal
 

So, my birthday is this month. This also means I have to give the state of Ohio money to re-new my plates. ****ing ripoff. It was $49.50 last yr, and it went up $5 this yr. Bastards. How is this done in other states? I've been out of Missouri too long, I forget how its done there.

I cant remember how it is here in CO...But hey, its been almost three months ago...

I owe 86 bucks to renew for a 10 year old vehicle. 260 for a 4 year old vehicle.

Do you have to get your vehicle inspected every time you renew? That's the ripoff.

You can usually do it by mail.

I just paid $290 in Kansas for an 07 SUV.

In Nebraska, it's done with a waist-high table and a jagged stick with rusty nails and shards of glass sticking out of it.

Seriously though, it's.... pretty expensive.

WA state has cheap tabs too. You may not believe it Dave, but you're getting a bargain compared to what most everyone else pays. Ours in WA are so cheap because someone started a petition, got it on the ballot, and the people of the great state of WA said, "Meh, we'll pass the lost revenue on to smokers." Yeah, I'm bitter.

My plate renewal is around $100 - it's a bit more because I have personalized plates.

Of course, we don't have to pay that stupid yearly tax that Missouri charges.

No. Does MO. still do this? The only inspection Ohio requires is if its a salvage rebuild, and that must be done at a State Police garage.

Holy ****face!

Jesus. Remind me to never move back to Kansas!

Do you have an older car, Dave? That might be one reason it was cheap.

Well in CA this year they doubled registration, fortunately I had to renew mine before the change and I won't be registering in CA next year.

Compared to Kansas, yeah, I'd say so.

Are you the ASSMAN?

Our roads are much, much better than Ohio. There is a reason for that.

Negative. :D

Its an '01. The model yr doesn't matter here. Its a set rate for passenger vehicles. A regular pick-up truck is higher, tho. Like $20 more.

People actually live in Ohio.

Probably. The funny thing is it always seems to be freeway construction around here but not much progress.

:LOL:

Near $700 for an 04 and an 07 last month. Neither particularly fancy cars. Property taxes (house and cars) in Kansas are crappy, there's no doubt.

This. 250 for an 06 G6.

You can get two year tabs in MO now. And yes you have to get the inspection which is total BS. Where they get us in MO is the property tax which is calculated by some type of top secret formula designed to bend you over. Actually our county tax man changed how they tax. It use to be by vehicle HP. Now they look at the HP and the VIN to add tax for the options on the car. I just renewed for a 09 BMW and it was $76 for two years. That after paying $2800+ in sales tax and our property tax in January which I can't remember how much that was. What really pisses me off is you pay the sales tax and then they keep taxing you every year for property tax. Hey, state revenue fuggers! Pick one tax and stick with it!

$50.00 for your registration? I'll pay 10 years of yours if you will pay 1 year of mine. Yet another area Arizona sticks it to the consumer.

In MO you have to get veh insp each time you renew. It's about $10-$15 depending on where you go to do it. It's ****ing stupid and it's a time waster for both you and the shop, but hey gotta love GOVT!!!!

Need copy of personal property taxes showing you paid the past year's. (I think) My property tax for '02 Jeep Cherokee is around $280 IIRC.

You can buy a 1 yr and 2 yr tag.....I ususally get 2years.....its about $50 for me.

$349.56 for registration and taxes for my Silverado.

Just paid $240 for an 07 Grand Prix and $185 for my wife's 04 Jetta......F-ing sucks

Just sign it over to Markieff Morris and be done with it.

Damn, I don't miss property taxes or inspections. I go online every year and pay about $40.00 to renew my plates. The only time I've been to the DMV in the last 10 years was to take the test to get my CDL.

In Texas i pay about 60-70 bucks every year. I do it online. Dont miss standing in line at the DMV one bit.


We also have no Personal "bend you over" Property tax.

I remember when my fam lived in Texas it cost $80 to tag our suburban. When we moved to KS the next year it was $500.......:banghead:

Montana has no sales tax so they ding your car. My '04 Jeep was around $300 this year.

LMAO

Mine went from $177 last year to $477 this year.

Wanna trade?

:D

God, I WISH it was only $50 for me. somewhere around $140 for me on a 2-year old car in Iowa

That ain't no lie, when you buy a car here, it's going to cost you roughly 10% of the purchase price to plate it. We replaced all three of our vehicles this year so I have no idea what it is going to cost to renew any of them. Our old 98 Camry was over $200/yr, and both of my crappy early 90s Caravans were around $60-70/yr. I'm sure all of that is going to be doubled now.

Or just do the easy way. Get a screwdriver and steal someones plates. Then use a straight edge and carve it off from underneath the most bottom sticker you can find. Then use some adhesive and glue it to yours.

$54 registration for each car, $28 inspection for each car. From what I am seeing here, central Texas isn't a bad deal.

ya my 2006 Focus was $120 last year, so stupid

Arkansas tags are so ridiculously cheap I kept tagging my van there for two years after I moved back to Oklahoma.

Shit, they have cops here that their only duty is to bust people for that, although as long as you don't park in the street regularly you probably won't get caught. They also have a specific phone # people can call and anonymously rat out their neighbors that are doing that.

Veteran more than %50 disabled in Oklahoma. About $7.50 each for two vehicles.

While Kansas may be a conservative state, it sure seems the government is run by communists. ****, you guys are getting ass raped!

I don't drive 10+ year old vehicles in Missouri because I like old cars. It's to dodge the annual property tax. I've never driven vehicles this old.

You have to pay extra to live on that cookie sheet of dust called Kansas?

CO justed jacked up the rates for tags across the board $25 this year and $15 more next year. That's on everything including homemade trailers and anything else they can think of. It's gonna cost me $36.67 to tag my atv trailer that I made a couple years ago for about $200 in steel and parts. I'm not gonna renew 2 other trailers I own because of it. A friend of mine has a Ram 3500 that he just had to buy his first full year tag for and it was over 600 bucks.

I got warned several times but I just tell them I have businesses in both states. They can't prove otherwise. I also kept my Arkansas drivers license until it expired.

I once got a ticket in St Joe for having my car parked on a public street with expired tags.

It was parked outside the DMV, and I was inside renewing my tags at the time. I shit you not...

Surely you could get out of payng that. Take the receipt from the DMV in along with the ticket? Prove you took care of it that day? I figure that would be like not having your proof of insurance when you get pulled over. As long as you take it to court with you, they'll waive that part of the ticket (usually have a speeding ticket to go along with it).

Eh, maybe. But it's a moot point now. It was long ago, and I just paid it.

I figure that's quite a money maker for them.

Jesus.

Tags just doubled in price here in Delaware last year and we all bitched up a storm about it. Now we pay:

$40/yr. Guess we've got it good as it turns out, compared to many of you poor bastards...

You can get 5 year tags on new cars here, but inspection's required (at no extra charge) yearly after that. Occasionally, though, the DMV will send you a letter informing you that you don't need to get the inspection this year, just send us the $$.

Sales tax is only paid once- when buying the vehicle.

No property tax.

Feel lucky you don't live in KS man. I have to pay over $600 for my two vehicles this month. It's a load of crap too.

Yeah, I saw what others posted about that. I'd be in Topeka, lynching some lawmakers.

Nearly $1,000 for my two vehicles

But Dude, that's what helps pay for the great Kansas elementary and high schools.

Or so I've been told my entire life.

27 bucks for my van...lol

....paid 400 for my Cherokee whilst in Colorado

That I don't even use. :cuss::)

those damn kids better be educated as hell

Yep, just like lottery revenue is supposed to benefit schools...

Pfft... evolution? Nonsense.

Exactly.

Of course, I don't discuss such things at family gatherings...

$19.75 for tags my car this year

Do what my in-laws do, theoretically, and buy one plate for all your trailers. Put the tag on whatever trailer you are using that day.

What state?

In Colorado:


400 beans depending on the vehicle.

And do you drive a moped?

Lucky. $78 here.

If they don't get you that way, they get you another way.

Arkansas. `99 Nissian Altima

Some are, and others are still dumb-****s.

You're kids are in private school?

Mr. Moneybags!

:p

It was one in a million shot, doc. One in a million.

Seriously? You started a thread because you to come out of pocket $5 extra this year. Wow.

In Iowa it's based off the year and weight of the vehicle. So every year the vehicle gets older the registration goes down. They give a break to Truck owners it's a Farmer thing. Or at least they use to, I think my account mentioned last April that may change.

I think my 2006 Dodge Ram is around $75 a year.

Wife's 2003 Ford Taurus was well over $200 a year when we bought it when it was 2 years old, now it's $130 a year.

Well, I hate that I have to pay 50 bucks every year, and yeah it went up $5 this yr. Then I discovered other states charge obscene amounts, namely KS. The $5 increase was not the reason for starting the thread. My interest in what other states charge was my motive...

I have a 2001 Honda Civic.

It was $49 last year.

This year it was $208.

KTHXBYE

Kalifornia has to make up that deficit somewhere...:thumb:

My Lexus was $300 and the New Jeep I'm about to find out about
