I"m moving to Knoxville with my wife and daughter on about a week. I'll be working near Turkey Creek, and we've found a house in Harriman, which I'm told is going to be about a 25 minute commute.
I'm curious about what kind of things I'll need to get handled. With moving from Ohio, we will both need to get our cars registered in TN, as well as get a TN drivers license. I've not been able to find a few details, though, so hopefully someone from the area can help me out.

What are the fees for getting a new driver's license in TN? Also, same question for registration and license plates. I know some state charge more for registering newer cars, and my wife and I both have 2012 vehicles, so I'd rather not have it be that way.

Any other info I should know prior to this move?

I've found most of the things I was looking for, just haven't been able to find fees. I guess it doesn't really matter, since we're moving regardless.

Almost without a doubt, it will be cheaper than what you're used to. I want to say licenses will be around 15 bucks. Tags are CHEAP in TN...though many of the locals scream about the "wheel tax".

There are no property taxes, so things are way, way cheaper.

Every county has their own charges depending on additional fees and taxes above the state mandated amount, that's why you didn't find it on the state government pages. Since you want to live in Knoxville the Knox county site would be where you look it up: Motor Vehicle - County Clerk - Knox County Tennessee For getting a new license in the required time you can get info here: Driver's License - County Clerk - Knox County Tennessee
