Okay, so here in the Peach State, some of us have to get our cars smogged (emissions) and then pay a tax. So that got me thinking, since my total bill was $65 in taxes and $14 for emissions coming to a grand total of $79.
What do folks pay in other states? I mean, it seemed all right for a 15 year old car- but then when you look at the millage rate (how they value the car) it gives you an idea of how well these cars keep their values.
Emissions technician did say that he sees fewer of our cars every year, and very few '97s out of that small number.
You other GA residents, what damage has the government assessed you?

Regardless, you're paying less (I'm assuming the tax isn't much) and you probably also don't have the idiotic and racket-preserving visual inspection that we have here.

In MS, we don't have emissions.....thank the good Lord.
Taxes on MS cars SUCK when they're new. The plate for my 2 year old Trailblazer SS were just over $700. The plate for my 07 335i (five years old now) were still just over $300.
After 10 years they are considered fully depreciated, and they're $25-50/year.
The above is one of the main reason that I don't buy new vehicles. I'd love to have a 2012 or 13 Mustang GT...but I can't see paying $1,000 year just for the license plate.

I stand corrected, fellas. It looks like I got off pretty easily there.
I used to live in a part of GA where all you had to pay was the taxes, no emissions. Which was pretty good for a lot of the residents, since they had no way of coming close to passing.
