I got my car registered here, and I paid the $250-some dollars including the highway use taxes, but is there a separate property tax? I never got a bill for any and it was never checked that I had paid property tax, but this says there is one:

Three months after the motor vehicle’s registration renewal date, the vehicle owner will receive a tax bill
It stinks because there is a calculation on the value of the car and a $30.00 per vehicle flat charge.... so on an old piece of junk you would still pay around $100.00
Well, I have to wonder if someone from CT didn't influence that crazy law. We have had vehicle property taxes forever, and what started as something small has turned into something out of control.
For instance, my work truck - an 08 Diesel Ford (Mid level) is about $650 in some towns and $1000 in others per year. (They tax by town not county here.) That's on top of rediculous gas taxes, income taxes, home property taxes etc and they tax ever single item I own in my business down to a $50 tool at the same rate.
What was once a "yea that sucks" $200 bill has turned into a real burden. Having to budget an extra $50-75 a month just to pay tax on a vehicle is wrong.
I hope you folks understand what has happened in states like CT/NY/NJ and vote accordingly. New tax sources rarely disappear. Keep your government under control or it will end up controlling you.
And to make matters worse if you have an antique or a collector's car & they value it at $4500 & you put a higher value on your insurance, they'll charge you the higher value for taxes. Unfortunately I know this first hand.

Oh the goverment doesn't miss a trick. If something is a higher value and their taxes are based on value, the WILL get their money.
I wish more people would start to realize just how much of a task master the government is. They don't care about you, what you can pay, or if your family can't eat. They WILL get their taxes via tax warrants, paycheck deduction, property liens etc. Ask me how I know. They don't care, they go first you go last. There are many seniors being forclosed on by the towns because they can't afford the out of sight property taxes.

You have heard me complain many times about excessive taxes.We have given up on any hope of living in CT.We did spend time Sept thru Dec at our home and now see the light,to expensive for us.
We will stay in FL with a low cost of living,why hand out money needlessly.
Vernon demonstrated to me how much they care about excessive taxes.
