Rich Car Guy Problems: Montana License Plate Tax Dodge Crackdown

[Senor_Taylor]

Lee mentioned something about property tax on leases. No idea how any other OEM does it, but my Ford does not require that I pay any property taxes. It's basically a rental car.

I am with DJ on the trailer registration, the property taxes and such are not that much, and I'd rather know I'm 100% legal with it versus take chances otherwise.

Your lease company isn't going to require that you pay your property tax, it's your local municipality.  NC and SC both require that you pay your property tax on your vehicle before they will renew your registration every year. So if you aren't paying property tax on your truck, it's because your area doesn't have a car tax.  My guess is that you just haven't seen the yearly bill for it yet.

FYI my brother leases his S3 and had to pay property tax in VA and in DC when he just moved (you can request a prorated refund if you move or sell the vehicle, which I always do. I just got a few hundo back from the state for my Canyon).  It isn't tied to a specific make of car.

I paid my taxes on the GTI (oof ouch owie) in Loudoun, then filed me moving to Fairfax. I wonder if I'll ever get back what they owe me.
