Im just wondering if NC charges property taxes on boats/cars/motorcycles/etc like SC does.
Im looking to relocate and trying to minimize my tax burden. SC real estate has much lower taxes but when you figure in my fiance's car, my truck and bike, then hopefully a boat in the future, it may be easier to just buy in NC!

As noted on the link there some places add on an additional yearly fee. Charlotte & Davidson have additional tax zones and you pay these if you live in one of those zones. See the bottom part of that page.
NC will also charge you a 3% highway use tax to register a vehicle in the state.
When you move to NC and register your vehicles, the State will charge you sales tax on the Blue Book value of the vehicle. I don't know what SC does. The sales tax will be in addition to the local county and or municipality PPT you will pay. Note: they are not charging for the air you breathe - not yet, at least.

In NC there is no sales taxes on vehicle purchases. What you are talking about is the Highway Use Tax. This looks like a sales tax but it's different in that it is 3% and capped at a max of $1500. You will also pay this tax if you buy a car in the state whether it is used or new. Basically they assess it anytime the title changes hands so it is charged even if the vehicle is a gift. The only exception is if you give a vehicle as a gift to someone in the immediate family. If the car is new and purchased in another state, and you paid taxes in that state, then NC will credit you for that amount when you bring it in state.

What if you bought the vehicle in NC but register it in SC. Do you still have to pay the highway use tax?
I'm hoping I didn't just get shafted by a dealership. Or if they do charge the highway use tax shouln't SC DMV include that in what I pay to them?
You could be like a lot of people i see dropping their children off at school every day that drive around with out of state tags for several years (even though approx 50% of the tax goes to the schools they do not feel they should pay). I just paid my annual taxes and it frustrates me how many people fail to register their car and pay their fair share of taxes.
