WA, $110, Special and custom plates though.

Paid 208 this year. They actually use profits from the lottery to cut our excise tax in half or I'd have paid an extra 195.

Don't understand any of this. In PA, annual registration is $36.00. First year is maybe $100.00 one shot fee if you need a new license plate. If you use the one from your old car, then only $36.00/year. Some of those numbers in other states are outrageous.

Some states base your registration on the car, meaning a performance car with lower MPG has a higher tax. This is similar to Europe, a V6 and up can be a hefty fee to operate per year.

I got jacked.... $350 for the Z in Alabama but I did have a College plate which added $50.

$800, $500, WTF are you guys talking about I paid 80 bucks for my sticker. I would be walking, using my bicycle, and taking the bus if I had to pay that much on registration. Either that or I would be running expired tags. Probably expired tags. LOL

That's just how it is. :(

for just living in a desert with haboob's? :ugh:

come on now, you can do better, haboob! :icon17:

What difference does it make ? Someone paying more or less than someone else in a different state isn't going to change anything.

$135 in maryland

States handle the whole licensing/registration/taxes differently. In Indiana, the actual plates registration is 20 something dollars added to an excise tax, which is paid at the same time as the plate purchase. Across the Ohio Ocean in Kentucky, they pay a fee for their plates and a property tax on their cars at a different time.
It's nearly impossible to compare actual dollars and cents, but we're all basically stating "This is how much I had to pay to drive my car."

In PA as stated above the State reg is 36 bucks, plate is one time, annual inspection runs from 20-30 bucks and it just depends which emission test you get, I hear philly is expensive, regular emissions runs 30-40 bucks...or Indiana county FTW= no emissions, and working at a car dealer=free inspection=winning, cant believe the fees in some of these states! BTW I hate living here, but hell if Im moving to some of those states...

Hit the nail on the head.

AND we get whores girls in short shorts 9+ months out of the year

Mine was $296 in LA

Personalized plates get you here in Cali. It is the price of admission.

I agree. I think the op wanted to see the differences and he got it.

Good luck when you move out of PA. It is not as nice compared to some other states so I don't blame you. Yes I've been to PA. Amish country to be exact and it was just ok. Close to Penn State. Too cold for me plus nothing to do.
