Not sure how many states do this but in North Carolina you have to pay property tax on your vehicle. Mill rate looks to be around 1%. I’m like whatever I’ll pay.
Go online, search by license plate and title number. Turns out my car, WHICH IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD, needs to be inspected. Really? What a crock of shit.

$$$$$ for the state, Kansas was like that. No inspection however. Missouri had emissions inspections.
Cars suck from a financial perspective. Such a f-ing waste of money. Little value, depreciate immediately and constantly.

No such thing in Arizona. Only emissions testing is required, but only within city limits, not rural areas. Testing is every other year if the vehicle is over 5 yrs. old, then every year if the vehicle is over 10 yrs. old.

Most definitely. Unfortunately I’ve been diagnosed with an addiction to new car smell. This will be the last new car for a good long while.

That’s reasonable. Even 3 years. Less than a year? Fuck you pay me dealio.

We built our home in 1998 and closed on it the week of the NFCCG we shall not speak of.
Property taxes were about $4k annual at the time. Now they are over $8k.

NC has always required annual inspections in order to renew license plates. In 2005 they added property tax to the registration renewal. Property taxes really piss me off...

It’s excessive. I suppose when I get a travel trailer they’re going to hit me up on that too?!

Testing a vehicle? In Montana? Hold my beer and watch this!!!!
A few years ago, Montana went to a system where any vehicle over ten years old (a car/pickup/camper/boat/ATV etc) could get a permanent sticker. I've got a 4-wheeler that I bought new in 2003...I got the permanent sticker a dozen years ago and I never have to remember again.
Montana also has no sales tax, BTW.

Lol,
I cant tell you the # of buyers who wanted to buy a car from me in MN and title it in Montana.
It was a quick conversation; once I asked for proof that Montana was their permanent residence for 6 mos + 1 day a year.
