Sales Tax is calculated as 7.25% of the vehicle's value

Worked Examples

Example 1: New Passenger Car

For a new passenger car valued at $25,000:

Base Registration Fee: $25
Title Fee: $20
Sales Tax: 7.25% of $25,000 = $1,812.50
Total Registration Cost: $25 + $20 + $1,812.50 = $1,857.50

Example 2: Used Truck

For a used truck (over 10,000 pounds) valued at $15,000:

Base Registration Fee: $35 (plus additional $10 for weight) = $45
Title Fee: $20
Sales Tax: 7.25% of $15,000 = $1,087.50
Total Registration Cost: $45 + $20 + $1,087.50 = $1,152.50
