Vehicle taxes where you live... how bad?
I live in Aiken County, SC. Last year when we purchased our new tow vehicle - a 2013 Sierra 2500HD SLT crew cab 2WD with the DuraMax - the sales taxes weren't bad at all (I mean really reasonable). Re...

Oklahoma, on non-commerical cars and trucks (motorhomes are considered passenger cars):
No sales tax.
No property tax if registered as a vehicle.
Excise tax, one time, 3.25% of purchase price.
Title fee, one time, $11.
Annual registration fee, $91 the first four years registered in the state, stepping down in increments to $21 after 17 years.
Small additional mail fees if you renew tags by mail.
New license plate: $3
Private trailers, licensing is optional, no titles required. But you will pay sales tax on the purchase, which might be as much as 9%, at least 4%. If you choose to tag a trailer, annual fee is $7.
Separate rules and fees for farm trucks and farm trailers. The latter might be unregistered as a private trailer, but if used for farming it can be taxed as personal property if not registered as a vehicle.
Different categories for assorted commercial vehicles, but generally low enough that companies operating in multiple states often choose to register in Oklahoma, particularly companies in both Oklahoma and Kansas.
On the other hand, some Oklahomans on the Red River might be tempted to register their private vehicles in Texas, if they are able to register in a city/county that does not have license fees over and above the state fees.
