I have a 2003 Impala drive 25000 miles a yr, what would my tag cost me for year? I heard Ga has tax on tag?

Thanks for info

It probably won't be a lot. My 2002 honda accord ex v6 coupe only costs $200 a year.

Why is it so high, my florida tag is 38.00 yr

It's called an "ad volerum" tax (spelling probably wrong). Property tax in other words, you can also call it a state rip-off. Florida and other states don't have it (you just have a tag fee), Georgia and other states do.

Just another creative way for the government to sock it to you.

You can estimate your tax here:

It was actually cheaper to register my car here then in Colorado, I know other people have had similar experiences. Your going to get taxed one way or another, it just depends on what you pay in on.

Using the online calculator, when I choose Cobb county it comes up as zero tax. When I chose a few other counties, all the amounts were different. Does the amount of this tax vary by county?

Thanks,

GA pays state income tax 6%, Valorm Tax on Car Tag, 200+ Cars must be inspected. State Sales Tax 4%, Property taxes increasing more than 3% this yr. The further I ck the worse it gets.
