$336 in CA for my '08 IS250. They should just send my tax return right back where it came from and save the postage.

I'll agree that most people don't consider the insurance and registration aspects of a vehicle when they purchase it, even though I believe the purchase agreement does state the approximate registration for that year. I got my registration for my '08 F a few weeks back and started comparing to the '11 Avalon I got my parents...and it's the same. I know there's a few years in between, but damn! I didn't expect the Avalon to carry so high a registration.

How is Arnold to blame? He worked to cut spending in a bankrupt state due to the big spenders before him. California wants all that crazy social spending but complaints come in when the high taxes and fees come in. Then California goes and reelects Barbara Boxer. The quintessential big government spender. ![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
Thanks.
Massachusetts is $25 a year flat rate (billed as $50 every 2 years).
We do have a yearly excise tax which isn't that bad. My '07 Toyota is $47 this year.

Actually, when Arnold was elected in CA as Governor in 2003/04, he reduced the Vehicle License Fee from 2% to .65%.

$23.00 for car
$15.00 for motorcycle
If you're military or veteran; 1st vehicle is free and $23.00 for each additional after the 1st freebie..

They are high, but they're based a percentage of 60% of the value of the vehicle. It's also what pays for most of our roads and the great quality of them. In contrast with many states, AZ hasn't really raised rates. They've sucked for a long time. ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
You know, I don't like you very much (JK). Our corporate tags don't get any breaks. One previous business I owned had tag fees in excess of $12K a year. Looking to my future corporate plans, I would venture that would be a low number to me relatively soon. Sad, but true. CODB, though, so I'm happy to do it.
