Give the legislature time . . . . . They will figure out a way to increase it again! Remember the $30 tabs Tim Eyman's initiative was supposed to bring? The legislature has increased that more than double!!!
Actually, I think the $30 tab is still there... They just add a ton of other "fees" to it that brings the total bill up a bunch..
Here is my break down of the fees I paid for my 13 F150.
Filing: $3.00
RTA: $97.00
Service Fee: $5.00
GWT/Veh WT: $58.00
Other: $65.00
I'm actually registered with a #8000 GVW because I have a #7700 GVWR truck.. I also have Custom plates, so that adds $30.00 in there someplace..
My wifes Rav4 had this.
Filing: $3.00
RTA: $6.00
Service Fee: $5.00
GWT/Veh WT: $10.00
Other: $35.75
My TT and my little 8' utility trailer are about the same as the Rav4..
They'll add more "fees" along the way, for sure!
