I'm just across the border from NC in SC. RV's are taxed as property tax and not vehicle tax like trucks/cars. NC is the same as us in that regard.
Not quite true:
I am looking at my TT bill that I just paid. The name of the form is " NC Combined Vehicle Registration Renewal and Property Tax". Cost are broken down as follows: 1- " Vehicle Property Tax Information" and 2-"Vehicle Registration / Inspection Information"
There are 2 amounts on the bill, " Property Tax" and Registration Fee"
So they actually call the tax a Vehicle Property Tax. It is now combined with State Registration and in order to renew a registration you have to pay the Personal Property / Vehicle Property tax at the same time.
Have no idea what they would or could do with out of State registered Vehicles, although I there is a DMV requirement if you move to NC that you register your vehicle in NC within 30 days of you current states expiration. So I guess it would depend on whether you are a " resident" of NC according to the State laws.
OK, good to know. Here in SC, on vehicles, once you pay the personal property tax bill, the county will send this information to state DMV who will then issue a sticker for the license plate which they send to you in the mail. On my RV, it's a property tax (not vehicle tax) and the county said I would have to take the paid receipt to a DMV office and get a sticker. I think I'll just take the paid receipt with me and if I get stopped I have proof of the payment. Not really interested in standing in a 2 hour line at DMV just for a sticker.
