Annual license plate renewal fees - how much in your state?

[EnrgyNDpndnce]

We also have beaches (Santa Cruz), forests (redwoods, sequoias and pines... well, the ones which haven't burnt down yet...), mountains (Tahoe) and farmland (Central Valley). Not sure if blueberries are grown here but tomatoes probably are. Bagels can be found in a couple of places here, pizza lesser so (not really authentic Chicago-style despite what Pizza Hut might say) and there's a Honey Baked Ham store in town. There used to be a fair amount of places to eat 24/7 but COVID has taken its toll. Same for the nightlife (what I know of it).

Great weather (except the current heatwave; thanks global warming), the occasional earthquake swarm (6 shakers of about 3.0 each in the last 24 hours a few miles from San Jose) and did I mention the vast parking lots around here? Most other places would call them highways (or turnpikes).

re: Newark. Same can be said of San Francisco (typically by the South Bayers here) but I don't know who in their right-mind would pay for it.

I’m a Southerner, so having to decide which place would be worse to live, California or New Jersey, is similar to deciding whether to vote for Trump or Biden! Sorry to politicize this thread but after that debate the other night, well, just damn. Btw I have visited California several times and (when it’s not on fire) it’s really a lovely place and the people are very friendly. Never been to Jersey so I have no reference other than TV and people I have met who moved south from the state.

PA is $37/year

In PA, counties are allowed to add a $5 “Local Use” fee to the state registration fee. About 20 of the 67 counties do. Mine does, so for me registration is $42/yr.

[kpedraja]

how about a fee based on miles driven? They could have us go somewhere to show miles driven and have us pay the amount accordingly at the time renewal was due or something.

Turns out the Washington State Transportation Commission agrees with you. They have recommended a Road Usage Tax to replace the gas tax. Washington Road Usage Charge Pilot Program | WA RUC

I'm not a big fan of using an app to give the state my driving data, however.

Mine was $618 for the year in Indiana. $407 of that is excise tax which will decrease each year as the value of the car decreases and $150 is an extra EV fee to make up for the fact we don't pay gas tax.

About $90/year in OK.

Whoa, that's the land of the fee.

 

[TheRFMan]

$120/year in Ontario, Canada. It's a flat fee for all passenger vehicles. We do however pay 13% sales tax up front when buying any vehicle, so it's a good thing registration is cheap.

Just got my renewal on 2016 MS...$508.00

Never been to Jersey so I have no reference other than TV and people I have met who moved south from the state.

Just seeing this but ...
#1 - Ignore anything and everything you've seen on TV about NJ. Especially those knuckleheads on MTV -- they were imported from NY.
#2 - Feel free to come visit us anytime. Happy to show you the very best of living here. Beaches, forests, mountains, farmland, and 24-hour diners -- all within 45 minutes of each other. There's a very good reason we're the Garden State.

Here's a drone shot a few minutes away from me ... not exactly what you see on TV.

A newly acquired vehicle in Illinois is $401, annual renewal is $251

Used to only be $17.50/year in Illinois because we were friendly to EV owners. Then, politics.

$900 in CA sounds high. I just pulled up my lease paperwork and I payed about $620 in license and registration fees for my new M3P on delivery. I’d have to pull up my tax records, but $900 sounds closer to what I was paying for my Porche 911 when I had it.

Irony is that we keep being told that we need to reduce carbon emissions and yet when we do by not driving ICE cars we are taxed more.

Meanwhile, our supposedly "green" state imposes no penalties on new gas guzzlers. Go figure.

 

[T3SLAROD]

I just received my renewal, $474 in California that includes $40 for Special Plate Fee

A bit over $600 here for my 2020 Model 3 SR+, paid my renewal fees about 3-4 months ago. 2020 and later year EVs are getting slapped a flat $100 fee in CA, doesn't matter if you drive 20,000 miles a year or 50 miles a year.
