Registration Rant

[anutami]

$381 + $50 smog on a 2001 F350 SRW to register this year :M oh but I don’t have to pay to register my TC, it’s like going to Oregon and paying $150 for an oil change and but not having to pay sales tax!



The time is coming soon when I am so outta California.

What are you guys seeing for registration in other states for a Similar vehicle?

It's disgusting how they rip you off on Vehicle Registration here in California. The stupid weight fees, and all of the liberal idiots running the State. I have thought many times about moving out of state myself.

You can opt out of the donation and the discovery pass when you renew. It's like you're dealing with a door to door salesman when you go to the DMV here!

But you donate more to the state here to recreate on public lands, by a long shot, than anywhere else we've lived.

And thanks to the car tab fee getting voted down to $30, WSDOT and my livelihood is all messed up this year thanks Inslee. It's ok though, my property taxes make up for it.

Illinois here I feel your pain.

look at the bright side, some sarcastic official pointed out your $1.00 license fee is tax deductible.

Great catch I was wondering when someone was going to bring that up!! Kick a man while he’s down. Yeah California has some of the highest state income tax in the country, + property, taxes, sales tax,= Sunshine Tax. The registration fee is just the nail in the coffin to keep not only keep my current vehicle (why would I buy a new F350 and pay $1200 a year in registration) but to finally look elsewhere to move the heck out this state.

$86.00 for 2 years on the truck and $86 for 2 years on the TC. NE Oregon, no smog required.

It’s sunny and mid to high 70s here all week.
I guess we can say some of our taxes pay for the great weather.

[TCINTN]

Tennessee $54.75 and since truck has a 14,000 GVWR does not have to be inspected

Why do I bother to try and add my RVing experiences to this post and take the time to makeup and type an informative and intelligent post just to have it removed.

Moderator, your decision to pull my post was in it's self political bias just because you did not agree with what I posted. Shame on you.

They nixed my post too. Exactly why I don't come around here much anymore. I'd forgotten how anl they are on this forum. That's okay. There are other camper places
online that allow you to speak your mind.

My state (OK) for a 2001 trucks annual tag fee would be ;
...""17th year of registration and over........................$21.00"".

We have no weight(s) numbers for registering a non commercial truck.

However I sure wouldn't move to a state just because a bit cheaper vehicle annual registration fee/tag fee/sticker fee/etc without first checking other type taxes/costs that one has to pay in that state. You could be jumping from the pan into the fire.

Such as my state one time shot when we first purchase the vehicle and is paid at the time of registration.....
** Standard vehicle excise tax is assessed as follows: New Vehicle: 3.25% of the purchase price (or taxable value, if different) Used Vehicle: $20.00 on the 1st $1500.00 of value + 3.25% of the remainder.**

That state and County taxes also has to be figured.

Taxes can be talked about without political blather by most folks.

Made that decision in 1998, after 32 years in Ca. Sorry, but I'm not going to tell you my 'new' location. Gettin' crowded here (too).

LOL, I feel the same way and I'm about 100 miles north of you.
