Vehicle State Tax (For out of state purchase)

[ATK_Designs]

So for a vehicle purchased out of state from a dealer. Is the state tax required?

Also, will it be simple as (your county tax % x The price of the vehicle)?


I'm a newb to this so I'd like to confirm if it's right.

Thanks, ;)

If purchased out of state then you will not pay tax for that specific state. Once you go to register the car, then you will pay the your county tax x whatever you paid.

Are you trading a car or just buying outright? If you are trading, they will apply the sales tax paid on the traded car.

I bought my car in FL, it was very easy other than convincing the idiot dealer there that I didn't need to pay FL tax when I purchased.

ive bought out of state cars and never paid anything more than a title fee and a tag fee.

^That depends on if you purchased from dealer or private owner.

That's what I thought.

Thanks for confirming everyone. :goodjob:

Private sale doesn't need an inspection.

Only Bill of sale or Title, Emission, and Insurance (sometimes not required)
