Read the sticker. It says "Valid until last day of [in your case] 12/2022"

Annual inspection. Yours expires on last day of whatever is on the sticker (December).

Yes. You need to take it to any inspection station/shop/gas station that does inspections, pay whatever is is they demand for it now (set by the state) and get a new sticker BEFORE 1/1/23

Inspections are yearly but you’ll be super excited to see how much the excise tax bill is. I’m from MA and now in SC - I’d rather pay MA excise tax and have a yearly inspection than pay this astronomical SC yearly property tax.

35$

Get it renewed asap. They just passed a law where they won’t be as lenient with the expiration

thanks, I thought it went up from that but I wasn't sure lol

Is it really that much worse in SC?? My excise tax was around 1400$ last year.

Get it done at basically any gas station by next Saturday 12/31

Cash

Only some of the places I've gone have been cash only for inspections. A local family owned shop was cash only but a gas station took card.

What???? Mine was 58.99.

Depends on the cars age and value. My wifes 2016 Explorer was like 100$. My cars first year was cheap, they only hit you for 50% of the value on the model year, but then its 25$ per 1000$ of 90% of the cars value in year 2. By year 5 or 6 its based off 10%. So if you have a new expensive car it is brutal for a couple years.

Yeah if you buy an expensive car your first excise tax is legit nutty

I had my excise tax for the end of December 2021 when I bought my new car and it was over $1200 so I’m scared for what a whole year looks like.. lol

Just FYI, the dollar sign goes in front of the number

I know, I always do ot backwards on my phone for some reason.

HOLY CRAP. Mine was never more than $50 when I was in Mass, but now I get a bill for about $500 each year from SC.

You have a fancy car.

And always remember, excise is paid at the start of the year, so if you sell it you are owed a refund. You have to apply for it, they don’t just send it to you.
