It is a tax, and every state does it somewhat different. Oklahoma can be really different.
Our tag fee for non-commercial vehicles is based on neither weight or value. It is based on how long the vehicle has been continuously registered in the state. More seniority, lower cost. Starts at $91 first year of registration, down to $21 17th year and beyond. Age is not relevant, bring in a 30 year old $400 junker from Kansas, start paying for tags at $91.
Motorcycles are $3 higher. Buying a set of plates is extra at the time you receive them. Vanity and affinity plates are extra, affinity plates usually collect an annual "donation" supposed to be why you display them.
Commercial license fees are based on weight, can be lower or higher than private. Farm vehicles, taxis, etc are special categories. We also collect tag fees on all sorts of vehicles never used on public roads, like ATVs.
Relevant to RVs sometimes, non-commercial trailer tags are $7 a year, but optional. We don't really need to tag a trailer, but then our county assessor can tax it as personal property if not tagged as a vehicle. You also might want to tag a trailer if you plan to pull it in a state where they expect to see tags on trailers, because that's they way they do things.
None of this goes to, or is handled by a Department of Motor Vehicles. Tag fees go the the Tax Commission and into the treasury as general revenue.
