I am thinking of buying a new (more expensive) car. How can I determine how much the annual vehicle tax will be before I purchase the car? I live in Charlotte.
Actually, I have seen no rhyme or reason. My value has gone up and down and the bill has too. Value up and bill down and vice versa. That is just my experience.
They have not established the 2012 tax rate. The city manager wants to raise property taxes so he can build some stuff. In 2011 property tax rate in Charlotte was $1.2536 for $100 assessed value. The first year you own the car, they will set the tax value as the sales price of the car reported to the state.
So if you buy a $35,000 vehicle, your property taxes in 2011 would be $438.76. They will also tack on an additional $30 for the city license tag so your total tax bill will be $468.76. This bill will go down as the car depreciates, but the Charlotte/Mecklenburg tax office IMO, overvalues vehicles.
You will also have to pay a one time $1167 highway use tax to the state.
It's a lot of tax to put a car on the road.
