Many states, including mine, raised the tag cost again, to pay for road repairs. It includes trailers, motorcycles, anything with a tag. They also raised vehicle sales tax 1%, and gas tax .06 per gal.
Some nearby states raised the gas tax .15-.20 per gal, but did not raise tag cost. To me this makes more sense for road repair costs, due to the more you use the roads, the more tax you will pay. When I drive in other states, I will help pay for their road repair, when I buy gas, only fair IMO.
I have three trailers, and a number of motorized vehicles, that do not see much time on the road. My 13 truck, only has 6,000 miles on it, as it is not a daily driver. My total tags keep going up, but my road use keeps going down. I wish they would raise the gas tax here, and leave the tags alone. Tags are plenty high as it is.

I agree I would much rather that system because I drive very little. I dont mind paying a road tax for what I use but dont punish me for having nice things.
