$900 annually since 2020 vehicle purchase.

18% interest if you are late.

If you don't pay you are reported to DMV so you can't renew your registration.

Registration is another $230

This isnt a tax.

This is FUCKING EXTORTION.

Yea. That's why I drive my 97 shitbox. Taxes were like $15. That savings covers the few repairs. I don't drive a lot but it's sure handy not using bus or Uber to work.

I dunno about extortion, but the DMV renewal part is a huge pain in the ass. I lived in Middletown for a few years and they apparently split the city into 3 fire districts. If you live downtown your property tax pays for your fire tax bill. If you live in the outskirts you live in a separate fire tax district.

I went to renew my registration and they were like "I'm sorry, you owe $12 to the Westfield Fire District, you can't renew". Took a week to pay and have the debt cleared from the system, huge pain in the ass.

I bought my truck new in 2018.

When Corona happened and supply problems started and used car values went through the roof I actually paid more in taxes for my car when it was two and three years old then what I paid when it was new.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted but you’re right.
