Zona Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 in AZ, new cars are very expensive. depends on the value of the vehicle. Our 2005 Corolla is around 300 and our 2003 grand prix runs around 140 a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Is that for 2 years???? I didn't think it was that much in VA? Do you have personlized tags? Or do they charge a difference for registration based on county? If so I didn't realize that. Your property tax is cheap. On an 07 Camry I pay 450 for a year. Chesterfield County got: $474.21 for an 09 Murano, and $102.53 for an 02 Pathfinder. Both of those include the $20 Registration Fee. License Plates are an additional fee, as if they were an Option! Then there's the annual Vehicle Safety Inspection. You would think after all that plus; the Property Taxes, Sales Taxes and the Lottery, that VA would be rolling in dough but King Kane is always crying the Blues about how much the State is in the hole.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Illinois used to be around 45 bucks, then some years ago... They raised it to 79. I pay standard on my on car (79) and on the other... I pay around 102 bucks for Illinois and Michigan Canal plates... The extra 23 or so bucks a year gets donated into the Illinois and Michigan Canal fund... Which basically is for recreation and other stuff they use to keep the old areas of the canal open to recreation and other activities. On my one car that I pay the standard 79 bucks, I will probably switch to a plate that benefits a cause... Like park districts or even a second set of I&M plates. CyberDrive Illinois: Illinois Secretary of State Illnois Pick-A-Plate IL: I&M Plate Emmisions testing is free and only done when the car gets older (I think around 4 years old). Yearly safety inspection was done away with many years ago (at least before I moved there) in Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana may be like that or either it has changed. Anyway... That is why they can get away with lower taxes... You just pay another way. Oh... Driver's license renewal in IL is still 10 bucks every four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 april 2009 2yr reg cost me $82.00 in ny.fee is increasing as nys is issuing new plates to everyone........again. fee goes even higher if you want to keep your current plate # Nice thing about NY is that it is state wide and not by county... When I lived in Iowa, it was handled by county... I think FLA and other states (with the county name on plate) are registered through the county??... Probably why they have voting issues there since with voting too, things aren't centalized throughout the whole state. I did notice that after 2000 some FLA plates I saw did NOT have the county name on them... What is up with that? Illinois is central through the Sec of State. Back to the plates... NYS is "forced plate registration" I believe... They will shred them on site when you surrender them... Illinois is so effed up that you don't have to surrender them... And years ago IL would issue the same number... Some people would get tickets in Chicago that they never even stepped foot in let alone drive too!

VABills Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 The Governor of Virginia disagrees He's confused. He's a devout Catholic who believes in abortions. Of course, the Bishops have told him not to go to communion. But he's a devout Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver's license renewal in IL is still 10 bucks every four years. When we lived in Washington State, in the 80's-90's, the fee's got within spitting distance of $1000 annual, per vehicle. No Vehicle Safety Inspection but they did rip everyone off with an Emissions Test. Had to have the "pass slip" before you could renew your plates. The Auto fees were carrying a whole lot of non driving related programs, including the State Ferry System. The Voter's finally got a Proposition passed to cut the fee's in half. There was a whole lot of crying and carrying on, on the State side, but somehow they survived. I can't remember but they may have raised the Sales Tax to cover the short fall. The Virginia Personal proprty Tax was cut in half, about 10 years ago, with the promise that they would phase out the "other half." But that was promised by a different Governor and nobody seems to be talking about getting rid of the second half now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Chicago and most suburbs you have to get a city sticker... I never knew if that was really legal? Isn't that like double registration. Chicago is around 100 bucks I think... My village isn't bad since it has always been 10 bucks a year per car to get a sticker... I use this: StickerShield Makes it easier to transfer in case you get a new car! Which probably isn't legal... So what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Ohio's listed here Ohio increases as of 10/1/09: Temp tags: $10.50 > $18.50. Vanity plate renewal: $15 > $50 . Also, increases in license renewal fees: Renewal: $24.00 > $26.75. Vision test: $1.00 > $2.75 (it is required, and you have to pay for that 30 seconds of civil servant time). Transaction Fee: $1.00 > $3.50 (this is handed over to the deputy registrar, whatever that is). Lamination fee: Remains at $1.50 (yes - you pay extra for the required digital photo and the plastic). So in total, $27.50 > $34.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Florida recently jacked up their car registration rates a ton (almost doubling them) But if you're an illegal alien driving without a licence/insurance, you dont have to pay anything. What a country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 What a country! What does it matter if one is an illegal alien or not?... Anybody can drive without a license/insurance... Just jump in a car and drive! And if you are not an illegal, you won't get deported if caught. What a country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
