Several years ago, my brother moved from Oregon to South Dakota. When he went to register his truck (which he originally bought, taxed, titled, and registered in Wyoming), the SD DMV said that since he was bringing the vehicle in from Oregon where there is no sales tax, he would have to pay SD sales tax on it before they would issue a title & registration. He brought back the sales tax receipt from Wyoming and all was good as far as SD was concerned.

WA does it. Not with vehicles you have owned over 90 days prior to moving, but ALL RV's, boats, quads, bikes, etc get a full 9.5% "use tax" based on the bluebook value before you can title or register them, unless you show proof of tax paid up to that % amount. If the tax was less then you pay the difference. There are a few legal hoops you can jump thru to get some of the value knocked down and some less above board methods to get out of paying it, but it's tough.
Hence the reason I registered all my off road vehicles that I had yet to pay the use tax on in WA here in AK for 6 years! When I go back next year I'll have valid tags for everything for 5 more years! Screw them. How do they get away with taxing me on something I did not purchase there and has had tax paid on it at least once already..........by someone?
