[QUOTE=cactusjack;514242]Just another reason I renew my tags online. I don't know about the DMV where you live, but here the DMV waiting area is like Ellis Island. I am afraid of contracting tuberculosis or hepatitis at the DMV.[/QUOTE]

I just busted out laughing at work!!! Between that and Boss Hog, I just lost it!!! Thanks for that!

Yes, normally I renew my truck online but when I got the renewal notices in the mail, they said I have to bring the bike up there. There was no price for the renewal as they couldnt verify the approximate value of the bike. Since this is my first renewal I guess I have to jump thru the hoops. Weird.

For comparison, in Alberta it is $45 per year for motorcycles.

In Alabama, everything goes by the age,weight, and value of the vehicle. When someone sells things person to person here it is usually for about $100-$500 on paper, even tho it actually cost $5K. Thats because no one wants to pay the state for registering the dang thing. I sold a car to my dad for $200!! My 2001 Dodge Ram 4x4 costs me $60 but the bike will probably be closer to $80.

It depends on the value of the bike. Since we have no sales tax you pay more for license plates. I bought my 07 last year and it cost me $82 for permanent plates. I also have permanent tags on my GMC Yukon. Any car/truck over 10yrs old you can get permanent tags for the equivalent of three yrs of license fees.

But like on a new 50K Truck, that would cost like $600 per year for plates for the first 5 yrs. then as it depreciates the plates go down.

Me too, that would save a LOT of money and limit their ability to do so much harm...

Shoot, in Maryland you would pay your 6% tax ($3000 on that $50K truck) AND pay about $90 per year for tags for as long as you own it. Then don't forget the fee for a new title (somewhere around $100 now) plus fees and other associated costs. Also, every 2 years you have to get your emissions tested... another biennial fee. Don't forget about the tolls or the 23 cents per gallon gas tax that goes up to 27 cents per gallon on July 1 and goes up to 35 cents in 2015 and 43 cents in 2016.

Yea, come to Maryland... its affordable...

And it is a really short list, so it's easy for us to remember!

At least I was able to get the tag yesterday. Only $60 a year. Thank Goodness it wasnt Robert E Lee's birthday Or Forrest Gump's for that matter!
