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.
Wow. Down here in SW WA my trailer is $41.75 and the 3500 is $101, way better than the old excise tax. Oh well, Rapid Transit is the reason your roads are clear and free moving!!!! This might be the reason why a petition to reduce registration fees is currently floating around.
Yes if I lived outside of the RTA area my fees would be reduced by that huge amount I noted. I never use the RTA, and my local roads and the interstate are a mess, and traffic has never been worse. We RV almost 6 months every year and not even in the state.
I am eagerly awaiting for the November elections for many reasons.
