CA DMV registration

Can anyone tell me the approximate California DMV registration fees I would pay for 2005-ish class C ? I’m looking to buy my first RV (Looking for 24 footer, something around1999-2010) and I’m just trying to gauge the expenses. Thanks

    Why don't you just call the DMV and ask them. That's what I did.


    California does have an option now that once you call and leave your message they will call you back. I avoid DMV at all costs and use AAA instead.
  • Try the following link, if that is hard to follow, just Google what you want to find and it'll get you there.

    It will give you the percentage you will be paying.

  • An almost twenty year old coach can have issues far beyond the expense of registration. Inspect carefully.
  • There may be a few variables,based on selling price,it runs about 10 percent but my 2006 class C runs about $150 a year,as it did this year last month.

    But when I bought it 6 years ago it was $250
  • Not to sound too sarcastic !
    NOW thanks to Gov moon beam signing that gas tax bill, well a registration hike and a value tax was slid into that bill as well so most peoples registration can see a hike of $75.00 to $150.00.
    I believe the " value tax " will come into effect 2019 or 2020 ?

    Saying that last year on our 2005 Thor 5000 we paid $125.00.
    We sold that and bought a 2011 Winnebago Aspect 28B .
    Just got our Christmas Present from DMV in the mail for it $604.00 !
