Registration Fees!

Have you ever looked at the extra add on fees form the electric company? Actual usage of electricity may be only $25.00 a month. After all the fees added on, it's $125.00 a month. I'm not kidding, look at your detailed electric bill for your house.

Same with phone service and Cable TV ...

Here are the fees tacked on beyond the basic yearly fee:

Registration Filing Fee
License Plate Technology Fee
Dept. of Licensing Service Fee
Registration Service Fee

Rant over....

Your signature says PNW, I read Washington! They lost the excise tax years ago, and have been working on making it up for years.

Just remember you elected the people who approved all those fees.

From the state board,,,,,,,,,,

Several counties in and around Seattle have an added RTA tax in addition to the normal licensing fees. Our RV license was over $1700 for one year when we renewed last week. Approx $1600 was for the Rapid Transit Tax (RTA). Unreasonable tax based on purchase price of the RV. OUCH!!!!!!!! Literally thinking of moving out of the greater Seattle area to where fees, taxes, and cost of living are so much lower.

Here in PA, in addition to the State Registration Fee a County Tax of $5 is added. Doesn't matter if your trailer weight 100 lbs or 10,000 lbs, you still pay $5. ??????

GLAD I live in Tennessee. No state income taxes and we have a balanced state budget...with a surplus. Granted we have a high sales tax but I can control what I purchase. 74 bucks for renewal registration for what ever vehicle, and that used to be 25 until 2 years ago.

Total BS.
