Non-Resident RV Registration in New Mexico

You can purchase a vehicle in any state and not pay tax. If you are not a resident you purchase a temporary or drive away tag for a small fee that is good for 30 days. You then have to register your vehicle in your home state and pay the appropriate sales tax to your home state, not the state where purchased. The only time the dealer will collect the tax from you is if the state you live in and the state you purchase from are reciprocal states. The tax is then sent to your home state along with paperwork to register your vehicle. Reciprocal states are usually adjoining states.
