Title: Sticker prices
Post by: Meatwad on August 17, 2006, 06:46:04 AM: How much does it cost to renew your license plate stickers?

Here in IL for light trucks and cars it runs $78 which to me is pretty outrageous. Anyone else have to pay as much as that?

Compared to AZ. you have it cheap. My 6 year old trailer cost $365 for one year.. AZ. does it based on the valuation of the vehicle and in the case of commercial vehicles the valuation plus weight. If you buy a top end car or truck figure on spending over $1000.00 easily for the first year. After that it will likely decrease about 10% for a few years.

What kind of trailer? Divide that by mileage, that's pretty steep if you tow it a few times a year. I thought the taxation was mad here. No such thing as a tax on trailer here or anywhere else that I know of, and the insurance is around $20 per annum.

Post by: Maverick on August 17, 2006, 12:45:08 PM: Mora, they don't care if the trailer moves or not. You pay per callendar year, period. If you claim the vehicle (motorvehicle here) was broken and inoperable you must have proof and an affidavit from a mechanic the vehicle couldn't be moved.

Post by: mora on August 17, 2006, 02:08:48 PM: Well that's just sick. I could build a trailer during the evenings in a week, and it would cost me less than the yearly tax on it. It just doesn't make any sense since the trailer won't move on it's own, and it has to be pulled by an allready taxed motor vehicle.

We do a have a similar system on motor vehicles here too, but it'll thankfully change next year.

Post by: Tarmac on August 17, 2006, 02:28:31 PM: That trailer is an RV, not some cargo/boat trailer, right? In that case I can understand a little more, as the greedy moneygrubbers aren't getting any taxes as if it were a home and trailer taxes by themselves are usually paltry (our sailboat trailer cost around $20 bucks for registration). Plus, it probably cost well over 20 grand and the government probably views it as a luxury item.

Post by: Ripsnort on August 17, 2006, 02:42:33 PM: For a moderately new car, it used to be agbout $500-$700 a year in the Peoples Republic of Washington State, but thankfully, a republican lobbyist got a millions signatures and repealed the tabs tax law. We basically forced the state to have audits done by 3rd parties to see where it mis-spends it money while forcing them to actually budget for planned highway spending. What a concept! Now we pay $30/year car tabs, but they tacked on a .30 cents per gallon gas tax (over a period of 10 years) *sigh*

Post by: mora on August 17, 2006, 02:54:26 PM: All taxes should be concentrated on fuel. That's a fair deal, you only pay for actual road usage, and you pay more or less depending on how much you pollute.

Post by: Meatwad on August 17, 2006, 03:52:50 PM: Guess we arent all that bad. Back in the late 90's it was $42 I think, but then Gorge Ryan decided to stiff the people out of more money to put into his pockets by raising stickers
