The county fees vary, I am in Contra Costa and the weight fees and local interest fees are nuts.

I'm in Brentwood / Contra Costa County - As I recall when I picked my truck up in April it was just shy of $1000 for the year.

And I thought $50 per year was bad for our new vehicles. Our vehicles that are older than 7 years cost an extra $25 for permanent tags. I hear of places like Cali and Colorado, and just can't imagine paying taxes like that on a vehicle.

Yup - over in Apple Hill - guessing your the one I see over around Trilogy... looks like you might have a hot rod also

There are a number of us in Brentwood - got mine at Bill Brandt and our 17 Shelby there the year before. The dealer is pretty easy to work with....

i was a class 3 on my F150 at 7350lbs. I just jumped to a 4B for 11000lbs. So I’m missing out on 500lbs of payload but saving some cash by not going to the next class.

Be glad your not in Colorado. My plates were over $1300 and it might go down $100 a year if I'm lucky.

Our tags went from $21 to $29 in one year. About a 28% increase and no valid reason given. But at least our county doesn't have inspections or emissions testing.

$500-$1000 a year +/- to register a light duty pickup truck? I knew some places were more or less than others but that is absolute insanity. Like, I realize the state has to maintain the roads, we have to collectivize the cost, trucks might wear or cost more than others so it's higher, I get it and agree with all that. But those prices are not intended to cover the cost of anything, it's a punitive fine. Madness.

If and when you guys move to other states that don't outright hate their constituents, please remember not to enable the same kinds of disgusting hypocrites that levy these ridiculous fines on everyday people.

That’s what they would like you to believe, but here in Iowa that’s not really the case. Our registration is a calculation from vehicle weight and cost, but the cost portion far outweighs the weight of the vehicle. It is calculated as $0.40 per hundred pounds and 1% of list price. So going from a 3000 pound car to a 8000 pound truck only adds $20 to the registration, but going from a $20k car to a $70k truck adds $500. It’s not about the wear on the road here, it’s about a rich person tax.

Colorado is freaking nuts. The vehicle registration fees and state income tax is the reason we moved to TN 3 years ago.

Here in Virginia the registration is not bad at all but they hit you with the dreaded personal property tax, which is applicable to most anything from boats to planes to cars and RVs etc. Rates vary by county but can be very substantial.. There is a 40% car tax relief on non business vehicles for the first 20k of value, but if its tagged commercial, which over 10k GVWR it will be, there is no relief. But compared to many other states real estate taxes are low so either way you will pay the man.
