Property taxes on a car besides annual registration fees? Wow! SO If I drive a 2006 Honda Accord which might be worth $20K, I have to pay a property tax of $600 a year? That is insane. Isn't there a sales tax when you buy a ca? But on top of that you have to pay a property tax on a car. I am fairly new here and I haven't changed my plates yet. Perhaps I will keep them as long as I have to.

Not anywhere in North Carolina. The local property tax on my $19,490 SUV was $100.37 last September, but it just depends on where within the state you live. Might be higher, might be lower.
Welcome to NC. It will cost more if you gripe about the pot holes in the highways.
Also, does it make any sense to pay for emissions tests on newer vechicles? This always confuses me that a 1950's vechicle can pollute but a 2000 vechicle has to have an emissions test.
My exact thoughts....welcome to NC. ha ha. Least I knew about all this before I moved here 2 years ago, since one side of my family was born and raised in NC ...they warned me.
My complaint about the testing, is why every single day when I drive to Charlotte and back home to Concord from work, I am beside or behind a car that blows blue smoke from oil leaks, or horrible gas fumes???? Can someone tell me why we go thru testing if there are cars on the road that OBVIOUSLY
could not pass a test? How do these cars get their plates?????
I came from an area that had emissions testing, I have no problem with it, but we sure as heck did NOT have cars on the road blowing blue smoke or gas fumes. They didn't pass, they didn't get a plate period.
I feel it's a rip off to the residents of this area to have testing, because there are yet so many cars are on the road that don't belong there. I have actually gotten ill behind a few of these cars. In bumper to bumper traffic it's sickening.
Travel down Wendover/Eastway one day, you'll see what I mean. It irritates me that people who move here from out of State are slammed with so many fees, yet there's no street lights, and cars on the roads that do not belong on the road. What are they doing with all the extra fees we paid? Especially the ahem "highway tax"?
Yes, you have to switch your insurance over to your SC address first, then get the registration...then you turn in your NC plates. $78.71 was the tax (call the York County Auditor and they will give you an estimate which was $125 so they probably usually give high estimates).
$24 registration, $15 tag. Bring your SS card, birth certificate, lienholder address and phone number if applicable, proof of insurance, and proof of residence. And your marriage license since according to your username you are married (which is pronounced murrrred in SC).
I have another question....one has to bring a ss card, birth certificate etc...how do all the illegal immigrants in this area do this? Fake docs?
I never heard of having to have a birth certificate to register a car in a state.
UNREAL ! Now I've got to try and find mine, hopefully it'll show up when I start packing for the move.

Do you mean they want your birth certificate or that of your first born?
Just kidding, but I couldn't resist.
Yes, the deal is the illegals use one of the legals to obtain this, there fore it's all legal even though that one person has about 50 jobs and 100 cars. This is how they get around it.

The birth cert and ss card was for the drivers license, not the registration.

I'm not sure in NC, but n SC, it's a $250 fine for not switching your registration in 45 days and your license in 90. Also, In SC, you have to switch it if you buy a house or you pay more on property tax.
This link explains what new NC residents need to do to get dl and registration. The way I read it is, that if you have already paid sales tax on your vehicle (like most out-of-staters) than you pay a maximum of $150 highway tax. What I dont understand is if this is a one-time fee for out-of-staters transferring registration or do we pay that hywy tax every year. Can anyone who has transferred there registraion to NC in the past few years explain?
So FLtoNC, if those fees are a one time deal and u have no more annual hwy tax, I can live with that without being to upset.
