It's a property tax, not an income tax.

I've never had to pay personal property tax in the states I've lived previously, but it's not uncommon -I think like 23 states don't have it?

BUT many have car tabs or additional registration fees instead which can range the gamut.

Everyone (with a car) in CT pays personal property car tax. The amount you pay depends on your town's mill rate (some have a different mill rate for vehicles) & the value of your car.

I moved to CT from a state where we had increased registration fees and no property tax on cars. The combination of my taxes and registration fees is way more here than it was in my prior state. And I drive a 2013 sedan. I’m not driving anything new and fancy where I’d owe thousands in car tax.

Yeah I'm personally not a fan. It's less than the last state I lived car tabs, but wayyy more than the one before that where I paid like $75 bucks. Uff da.
