If delinquent registration fees really are a significant problem (which, I think has yet to be demonstrated) then they ought to be looking at changing the system into something with more natural compliance - like building the tax into gasoline sales where collection becomes practically automatic and doesn't put citizens at odds with one another.

Beautifuly spoken, I have not walked in my neighbors shoes.

Audi Q7 actually. Like I said, I have no problem with paying the registration fees. I knew going in that they would be high, and I made the choice to get a relatively expensive car anyway.

My problem is the people who feel they're above the rules and don't need to pay their fair share. My feelings have nothing to do with whether the state is really 'suffering' because they don't pay, whether they can truly afford it, or anything else. I hate sending money to the IRS, and I'm pretty sure what they get out of me is statistically insignificant, but that doesn't mean I can just opt out because I don't like it.

Hopefully all of these people who are playing games get cited and wind up with fines well in excess of what it would have cost to just register the damned car locally in the first place.

I would note that my old van went a year with an out of date registration sticker and it was never picked up. I put the new sticker in the truck and then forgot all about it until I got the next sticker a year later. I only put 2 or 3K miles on that vehicle so it does not get much exposure...but it does do a lot of short trips.

So as long as you don't have an HOA I don't think you run much risk unless you get stopped for something else.

Taxes paid on registration goes to the maintenance of our road network. As new residents DMV are giving them a grace period to register their vehicle. People that go beyond that are scums. Fees imposed on vehicle registration are part users fee which will benefit the community by way of better infrastructure.

My neighbor upstairs just moved in recently, I am giving them 30 days to change their AZ license plates. After that I'll be calling 455-FAIR. They may even have gone beyond the grace period mandated by DMV, they could have moved from another NV address but I will give them the benefit of the doubt and after 1 month, I will be calling 455-FAIR.

And they should laugh at you, tell you to get a life, and then inform you that your neighbor has 60 days to register their car, not 30.

Like I said they may have moved from another NV address but the point is people should register their car once they've decided to reside in NV. It is a users fee that will benefit all. It is a win-win situation for all including yourself.

LOL, a person with almost 1,900 posts on an internet messaging board telling another to "get a life." That's rich!

I've called the 455-FAIR number a few times, and was off the phone in less than 2 minutes. Hardly a major component of a day in my "life," and actually an ultimate feeling of satisfaction when, inevitably, those old out-of-state plates would be replaced with shiny new Nevada ones about 30 days later.

It benefits residents when people "TRULY" care about their community but there are pretenders amongst us residing in NV.

How do they figure what tax you have to pay on a used car that you are bringing in from out of state?

Do they go to Kelley Blue Book Or Edmunds and put a percentage on?

What percentage do they add anyway?

No, it's based on the MSRP minus a fixed rate of depreciation based on how old the car is. The specific formula is on their website:
