There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Figured it was NC. What other state taxes you when you by a vehicle then every year thereafter? Our 2010 was somehow excluded from the county tax list when we purchased it. We had to pay back taxes 
. We argued it wasn't our fault but you can't win when your dealing with the government. (I'm being nice) :cus:

Am I reading this right....you have to pay taxes on your vehicles annually?
In MO too
Yep, we get to do that here in good ol' MO too. Called a Personal Property Tax here.

taxing vehicles
GA, that's who. Starting next year sometime, we will pay a (higher!) sales tax on used as well as new vehicles, only new up till then. There will be no more ad valorem tax on vehicle bought after that date. I think they will start at 7.5% or so tax on all vehicles, whether sold by dealers or privately.
And this was signed by a theoretically "conservative" GOV.:banghead::banghead:.
Ad valorem was about $600 on an average car, something like that. Goes down, for sure, but over the life of a car, it's a lot of money. Now everyone who buys that car used will get to pay the higher tax on something that wasn't taxed at purchase from an individual previously - and in a lump payment, naturally.

Also I just sold a truck that was 10'years old to a friend of mine. Guess what... He had to pay taxes on it AGAIN. An if he sells it tomorrow, then that person will have to pay taxes on it again. No way the Goverments should be broke with all the taxes the we pay.

Here in MA, pay state sales tax at registration and then pay local town tax in the same year, and then yearly after that. The town tax does go down over time.
We then pay registration fees each year plus inspection fees.

Got my NC tax bill too.
My county tax office sent me a bill for taxes on a $36K CanAm. I have an RT that was 24 new,so I made my trip to their office, they didn't know what a CanAm was so I pointed out the window and showed them my invoice. They checked what info they had and they had something for 2010-11 RS but nothing for an RT, but it did have a footnote to call DMV. They said they'd get back to me. Had the same problem with my Winnebago, since it was on a Freightliner frame they gave me a bill for an 18 wheeler. It only took 3 months to get that straight.
Geico was just as bad on the insurance., they increased my insurance because they say the CanAm is a High Performance racing bike, which dictates a higher premium.
just love North Carolina:dontknow:

Well, I'll be sure and see what they value my RT at! I sent the invoice with the letter, so they should get it right. I hate all governments now! We have no say so what so ever.

Lots of states do this... NC is just one of them. You pay a reduced "highway use" sales tax (3%) at time of purchase instead of the full sales tax you would in say, NY. In some states that do this, you pay a tax but it is capped at a specific dollar amount depending on class of vehicle....When I lived in SC and bought a brand new truck, my sales tax was capped at $300 (back in 1998)...
If you are one that keeps your vehicles a long time, then the yearly personal property tax fee on the vehicle gets pretty low. I was paying $59 a year the last couple of years on my old Dodge Dakota which I had for 13 years. The tax bill I get next year on the new F-150 is going to hurt.
If you are the type that has to have a brand new shiny vehicle every 3 to 5 years then you are going to end up paying a lot of tax over your lifetime just on vehicles.Incidentally... If you have a toy hauler in NC and it is based on a cargo trailer, make sure it stays titled as cargo... cargo trailers pay a one time tax, not yearly.
Taxes are still less down here overall then in NY.
Vehicle Tax Alabama?
I will be moving fm Florida which has no such tax, to Alabama in January. I checked out property taxes and home owners and vehicle insurance, all will be considerably lower than Florida. However, I did not think to check on vehicle taxes.
Does anyone know if there are any heavy annual taxes on Spyders and other vehicles similar to the North Carolina experience cited in this string?
