    Default Ridiculous cost for a Spyder tag in Alabama

    I just renewed my tags for all my vehicles - Honda Odyssey, Honda Accord, Lexus RX 350, Spyder RT Limited. All the vehicles are 2013 or newer.

    The Spyder was my single most expensive tag, well over $200. This was not true in the past and I can't find any explanation for the expense of registering a 3-wheeled vehicle that weights just a touch over $1000 lbs. How does the cost of your Spyder compare to your other vehicles in other states?

    The cost of the vanity plate only adds $25.

    It all depends upon how your State decides to fund itself...
    My Spyder tag is $36 for a vanity plate...

    But I pay almost five-thousand each year in real estate and school tax levies...

    Annual renewal mtcyl tag: $10 New plate, $28. No state income tax. Come on down to central Florida. For what you Northeasters pay in taxes, you could almost spend a day in our over-priced theme parks.

    Not to mention the ever-present toll roads.

    The best part of high taxes is knowing what good use they're put to.

    Here in Pike County Ms they are high also. One of the poorest states with high vehicles taxes. Every time I buy a motorcycle or atv out of state the charge a extra $50.00 for buying out of state. Told them if the dealers would price right I would buy here. They base your tag on blue book value.

    Default tags

    maury county tn is 45 dollars for bikes this includes the wheel tax. If its a vanity tag its 25 more. Alabama charges the estimated value of the vehicle each year plus the tag price and wheel taxes. And each county charges different prices. A friend of ours lives in Huntsville ala and the tags for their Goldwing are over 120.00 each year. Tennessee doesn't have a state income tax but the sales tax is 9.75% thou.

    Alaska: MC--$30 registration fee. A one time extra charge of $30 for a vanity plate. No state income tax--YET!

    My autos used to cost $80 for the registration and $30 (one time charge) for vanity plate.

    State now does NOT charge for the first HC plate--and they are
    (P)ermanant for those over 65. My latest new car--I keep the plates and they send me a new P tag with the new number. No charge. A second HC plate (two or more vehicles) is $100 additional.

    In NC, aside from fee for which bathroom your Spyder uses, one must pay, at the time of registration renewal, $13.60 for safety inspection, $24.00 for registration renewal and personal property tax wherein if one lives in the independent state of Mecklenburg one pays one of the highest rates in Tar Heel Land. Once every five years the motorcycle endorsement on one's drivers license is $8.75.

    In AZ it goes by the MSRP and KBB value. Yearly we were paying $400+/yr. And would go down a little each year. Its rediculous. Since moving to TX its less than $100.

    Back in the 70's--Indiana was pretty high. $600 or so every time you bought a new car (my last was a 79 Ford LTD wagon) for which I paid about $12,000. Tag price was reduced every three years. If that has continued, I am guessing they are really expensive now. They also had a yearly "safety" inspection required.

    Yep, you should see the price of a new car tag there.

    Utah registration fee is 73.50 for motorcycles 6 years or less in age. That includes uninsured motorist identification and driver education. property tax is on top of that by county.
