Annual registration costs in Arizona

Data point: I just filled out the paperwork to transfer the title and collector plates on my Cadillac: $472 here in WI. Luckily this is a one time fee as collector cars don't pay an annual fee.
 
Wow that is crazy expensive. Registration on my Porches are $45 each. and our Q5 its around $70 its based on vehicle weight. Everyone complains about NJ taxes but I don't think they are so bad people need to look at all expenses
NJ taxes income at nearly 9% for MFJ making over $150k. I consider that quite bad.
 
Here in GA, when you register a vehicle for the first time, you essentially pay the "sales tax", about 7% of value, and then every year after it is just a tag fee of about $20. This applies to new purchases, as well as used vehicles, whether from a dealer or private seller. I guess it encourages you to "buy and hold", which I generally do
 
I have lived in 4 states and looked at many others. They all tax you one way or the other. Low tax on one thing simply means higher tax or fees on something else. There are a few outliers but for most states it’s true.

FLA comes in pretty low on taxes, if you dont include the hidden stuff like toll roads or local option sales taxes.
and then there are the county by county fee structures for stuff like building..
For instance where I live if you want to build a house, they charge $29000 in impact fees... and that is before you even get the permit. :)

That's what makes the world go round. What's good for you may not be good for me or visa versa. It works for me and am happy as I hope you are as well.
 
Absolutely not true. Moved from NY to TX in 2017. Overall I lowered my tax burden by 75%. No income tax is the best benefit. Property tax is also lower. General sales tax is on par but in TX there's 0 tax on groceries, so effectively also lower overall. Gas taxes massively lower in TX. Auto registration is marginally higher in TX by about $25 per car, peanuts compared to what I'm saving elsewhere.

I didn't notice any difference in services. TX is just a much better run state compared to NY and most traditionally "blue" states.

If you have decent income, obviously the states with no income tax make a huge difference.
Yeah, but it's Texas.
