Hey guys, how much do you pay for license renewal?
In CA, Los Angeles for 2019 with a sticker price around 70K paying $780.

I'm especially interested in how much it is on the East Coast (NC, VA) and South (TX).

Here in Virginia, they charge a flat fee of $44.75 per year for vehicle registration/renewal on pickup trucks. I also had to pay the DMV $2.00 administration fee for my required emissions inspection.

I’m not sure what taxes you pay in CA, but Loudoun County, where I live, charged me a hair over $2,600 in personal property tax last year to garage my Raptor in the county. We get charged $4.20 per $100 of assessed value annually.

Here in Maine they ass **** you with excise tax. It cost me $1470 to register my 2020 801A with an MSRP of $60K.
Excise tax is based on MSRP and gets cheaper each year for 6 years and will stay the same after 6 years.
It only cost $110 to register my 86 Grand National and $120 to register my 92 Bronco.

Jeeeeebus. I loved living in California for many reasons, but the taxes/money grabs are insane.

I’m in Tennessee now, where I pay $85 to renew each year.

And FWIW property tax is about .6% of current home value so it’s also cheap to keep it garaged here.

$75 per year to renew tags here in Texas. Not based on value but rather the type of vehicle.

Same in PA. I think it’s around $45 for a car and double That for a truck. We also have annual safety and emissions inspections which run around $65. Emissions is OBDII scan and a visual (which nobody does). No tailpipe sniffers.
