I pay about $36 a month in city utility fees on my water bill on a property where I don't use any water. The house where I lived, I use $6 to $12 a month more for the water I use. My telephone landline is almost as bad, taxes and universal service fees exceed my phone service fees, but I need the local service connection for my alarm system.
Add-ons for car tags are relatively trivial, tag agent gets $1.50 for verifying that I have liability insurance. There are small fees for a new set of license plates, or a collection on "affiliated" tags, which all goes to the affiliate organization, whether university, park service, natural resources, wildlife fund, whatever.
