At least you don’t have yearly personal property tax based on the value
just renewed my yearly auto registration. $360 / yr. and michigan sales tax was a one time. 6%

you pay a yearly property tax on vehicles too. we just have property tax on actual land, houses, buildings, not on assets like a car. thats f'd in the A. unless its just Called something different.

do you have a yearly auto registration fee also.

Michigan taxes are the worst. Just look up their intangibles tax - my gosh. So glad I moved out of that state... We have it pretty good in Washington State. It could be so much worse. (The current government is trying to turn us into Michigan)

My R is built and scheduled for mid January delivery. My wife and I had a spirited "debate" on the registration of this truck. I already have a Montana LLC for another ridiculously expensive car but it is rarely driven. I thought that since I already have it all set up, I might as well register the R in there as well but she balked at that notion and said since this will be my daily driver, I should suck it up and pay the sales tax. I say that it would be stupid to not use the loophole and save myself about $10,000 in sales tax. I pay plenty of tax. I am surely paying "my fair share" every year. She said she will be embarrassed to drive in a truck that had a Montana license plate. Please settle this "discussion" with some chiming in. Thank you. (New world problems)
It’s FJB’s fault you need to save some $$$ somewhere that just helps offset the egregious inflation & gas prices

I thought about moving to Montana but instead purchased our forever home in southern Utah. Both states are breathtaking and freedom-loving. The forever winters in Montana were a deal-breaker for me. Utah taxes are a bit stiff with sales and income taxes but the homestead exemption offsets a lot of that.
