And I want to say if you paid sales tax elsewhere, they credit the STATE's portion, while you still pay the PARISH'S portion. In other words, the remaining 4%/5% you've heard mentioned.

I see that LA has a reciprocating agreement with FL for sales tax. I will not have to pay the 4% LA state tax but will have to pay the 4.50% Terrebone Parish tax. This is much easier to swallow, though I'm still considering just renewing my Florida registration for one more year and hoping I don't get caught. Moving is expensive enough without all these damned taxes and fees.

Was the credit you got from Georgia immediately waived at the time of your vehicle registration, or was there an actual refund check cut to you after you paid the full LA registration fees?

Its waived when you get your tag. What you are doing in effect is paying the sales tax again. Its the Orleans Parish tax that kills me.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

Wow; it really sucks if you have a very expensive car!
