Alaska to Colorado Springs - car registration info (how much, transfer)

[AmandaL]

My husband and I are looking to move to Colorado from Alaska. Colorado Springs to be specific. We are both born and raised in Alaska. Love it here but ready to live in the states but not just anywhere. There are alot of Alaskans that move to Colorado simply because the weather and scenery are similar.

Off topic question is there a website that will show the vehicle registration fees? I know the fees depend on the vehicle and I'm wanting to know how much our vehicles will cost to register in CO. In Alaska we pay $100 every 2 yrs and it doesn't matter the type of vehicle and we do not have emission testing.

Here is a calculator - will give a rough estimate. El Paso County, Colorado

Note that the fees go down each year as your car ages.

FYI,

El Paso county is not in the CO 9-county testing area
Air Care Colorado :: Program Area Maps

however if you commute into the area more than 90 days a year, you are required to get tested.

Air Care Colorado :: Outside the Program Area

Also FYI, one portion of the state registration fees, called the "Specific Ownership Tax", can be taken as an income tax deduction, if you can itemize on Sch A of IRS 1040.
