re: Registering Your Car in Louisiana

Just registered mine a month or two ago. It was over $1,000. Make sure you bring proof of tax paid when you purchased the car out-of-state. You'll have to pay sales tax (depends on the location, in Baton Rouge proper it's 9 or 9.5%), but they'll give you a credit for tax paid out-of-state if that state has a reciprocal agreement with Louisiana.
