Drivers License Wake Up Call

[Ray Davis]

Good distinction Eric,

IN CA at least, it is indeed use tax that you pay for a vehicle (used) when you purchase it.

That's BOE policies. However, the DMV wants their $2000-$4000 annual plate fees if you drive and live in CA. I'm not sure of any good way to get around that one either.

Ray

ps: Yeah, our yearly plate fees are getting way out of hand in CA. I'm about ready to move ....

Sticks,

We just purchased our coach in early 2009 and actually started the Montana LLC process while having our atty. research the issue. He found a huge gray area and advised against not paying the sales tax, so we went ahead and registered in Pa. and paid the tax. I can sleep a lot better this way.


Good luck,

Chris

Ray, I'll let you keep your coach in my garage - the annual state license fee in Ohio is currently $49.50 for a motor home.... individual counties or municipalities (but not both) may charge an additional fee here - in Girard it's an additional $15 a year.

I just registered our bus for $24. What a deal. Same as my cars. Motorcycles only $17.

P.S. Ray, Huntsville is a really cool place to live.

The registration renewal for Evangeline came due in October (in Georgis - the renewal date is your birthday). I had to cough up $8,000 in ad valorem taxes!

Hmm,

Looks like Tenn or Ohio are possible next state to live in!! Looks like a big NO on Georgia? Boy, I hadn't heard that you guys pay that much yearly plate fees?

Too bad they are a little far away to do anything right at the moment!

Wow, Michael Terry,

What did you plates cost you last year? I hope it was less this year.

I have no experience with a Montana LLC, but I can tell you I have experience with Tennessee Sales Tax Audits. They are thorough, painful, exspensive, and really work well to make sure the taxpayer looks out for Tennessee Tax Collection efforts.

Having said that, I love Tennessee its a great state and I have no plans to move.

I am begining to accept the idea that was presented yesterday by our House Speaker and Candidate for Governor that we should succeed from the Union.

Throw the bums out!

NC has property taxes which vary by county,my county is about 64 cents per 100 dollars,our annual tag cost is about $30,each state has a method of collecting money for the ownership of buses,boats,planes etc.

Let's set the record straight for Georgia!

Sales Tax
Private sale in or out of state - "0"
Dealer purchase in or out of state - 6% of sale price (depending on County)

Ad Valorem Tax
Vehicle Book Value X 40% X mill rate 26.22 - 2009 Cherokee County

Vehicle Values are based book value and since Prevosts are not in the Georgia data base, the values are calculated by Bill of Sale amount.

My tag and ad valorem tax in 2009 for the Liberty was $529.46.

Michael,

If you paid $8,000.00 you must have bought from a Dealer and paid about $770,000.00 for your 1996 Featherlite! If not, hire a Lawyer and get some of your money back, you have been screwed...
