What is up with that ? When you buy a car or truck here, you pay the sales Tax, Title and registration fees. Once you buy the vehicle, you just have to renew your license when due, and renew the registration when it is due.

Does Alabama really require you to pay a yearly tax on your Vehicle; besides the license and yearly registration ? How much is the yearly tax on a vehicle down there ?

It is a use tax based on the value. A lot of states have them including VA and WV.

Colorado has an ownership tax on all motor vehicles, on top of registration fees. Collected annually.

Yes, Georgia does as well. It's an ad valorem tax.

It's a millage based on book value. Can't say what the current mill is though.

I do know that in Georgia you can challenge the assessed value and have the vehicle appraised by the county tax assessor. I do so every year and always get some knocked off.

Don't know if you can, I'm sure it can be done somehow, in Alabama. But knowing Alabama the process won't be easy.

Here I just walk across the street and ask the assessor to step outside and eyeball my ride.

However, you're going to find the rates are low comparably. Low property tax, full homestead exemption on primary residence (any valuation) at 65. Sales tax at 8% with income tax pretty much a flat rate 10% give or take.

Its called personnel property tax in KS. You pay it on boats 4 wheelers side by sides and trailers too. if your a drunk and choose to be homeless you only pay liquor and tobacco tax. They only get paid if you dont know somebody bootlegging booze and cigarettes'.

The way it looks on the Alabama tax Assessor's website, I might be totally exempt from all Ad Valorem Taxes ! Dang!! That sounds like it would be nice living down there !

Bama boats with motor must be licensed. Boat trailers are considered part of the boat, no tag. All other trailers must be tagged. 4 wheelers no title no tag or tax.

Cripes, that doesn’t sound like a good deal to anyone but the tax collectors.

Nebraska boat trailers must be licensed yearly, and any boat with a motor must be licensed every 3 yrs I think it is. Including electric trolling motors on a canoe even. Ask me how I know.

My 2015 Silverado was $401 to license it in 2020, $294 in 2021, and will be less each year as it gets older. I'm sure it was over $800 when it was bought new in 2016.

Taxed for the same thing 10 different ways is theft nothing more.

That's nuts. I thought 58$ was high for my pick-up a year. Cars/suv's are less, somewhere in the 30's.

The basic breakdown of taxes in Alabama.

Schools property taxes
Local municipal sales taxes
County Ad Valorum taxes
State Income taxes plus state docks and oil and gas (most oil and gas is earmarked to the Forever Wild and Dept of Conservation)

The good news is that Alabama does not have "home rule" so local and county are pretty much restricted in their ability to raise taxes without going to the legislature hat in hand to have it placed on the ballot. Any local referendum touching on constitutional issues such as official salaries or retirement must pass a statewide referendum even if it only effects one county.
Some consider this somewhat backwards and wish to change it but imo it is a valuable fetter on the overreach of local governments.

Where you been I believe most states have what's called property tax, on most any thing generally regarded as saleable.

We have it here in Utah, even if you have a yard sale, you are supposed to turn in a sales tax on what's sold.

Most anything bought on the net for any use is taxed as well, if they could tax printing reply's or questions on the net and get away with it I'm sure it would spread like wild fire !!

Little kids having a lemonade stand are supposed to collect sales tax, it's right crazy !!

Oh, and that lack of home rule means there's only one law that matters, state law. Counties cannot pass ordinances outside of zoning, cities are limited in only what their charter allows.
None of the nonsense we have in Georgia where you might be legal in your town but not the county while the next town over has a completely different set of rules. Seriously, if you do business in Georgia you really need a copy of the county and municipal ordinances plus state in every jurisdiction you may cross.
