Arizona Auto Sale Taxes Explained
Arizona imposes sales tax on the sale of motor vehicles. The current sales tax rate is 5.6%. This tax applies to both new and used vehicles sold in the state.
The Arizona sales tax rate is applied to the sale price of the vehicle. For example, if you sell a vehicle for $20,000, the sales tax would be $1,120 (20,000 × 0.056).
In addition to the sales tax, Arizona also imposes a transfer tax on the sale of vehicles. The transfer tax rate is 0.5% of the vehicle's value, with a minimum of $10 and a maximum of $500.
Registration Fees in Arizona
Registration fees in Arizona vary depending on the vehicle type and age. Here are the current registration fees:

Example Calculation
Let's say you're selling a used car for $15,000 in Arizona. Here's how the costs break down:
- Sales tax: $840 (15,000 × 0.056)
- Transfer tax: $75 (15,000 × 0.005, minimum $10)
- Registration fee: $25
The total estimated cost would be $935 ($840 + $75 + $25).
Total Cost = (Sale Price × Sales Tax Rate) + (Sale Price × Transfer Tax Rate) + Registration Fee
