That didn't stop my friend at work who drove his truck without tags for months.

You do not own the streets/roads. The tax payers own the streets. 


So, what youre saying is if you pay this particular tax(tags) you can drive on taxpayer owned roads. Doesnt a guy that fails to pay his income taxes yet does pay his tags still have a right to drive on the road?

In what sense? Personal property taxes and real estate taxes are based on ad valorem - the FMV x's a millage rate. Most states do not impose a true property tax on vehicles held by idividuals. Missouri does. And a handful of other states. But do not confuse personal property tax with tag fees.

That’s good but they’ll just raise taxes some other way


That's fine by me. Property taxes are insane in FL. I'll gladly pay a higher sales tax. My property taxes last year with homestead exemption was 12k

Where the heck do you live and what kind of house do you have?! I am in SWFL and pay 6-6.5% sales tax and ~$4K in property tax.

Property taxes should be reduced for people over age 65.

You don’t know bullshite until you experience the taxation of metropolitan Texas.

Property taxes (school tax) & MUD taxes are unbelievable. Higher than California believe it or not.

I had major sticker shock when I got slapped with it and strongly considered leaving. It makes you really question if this place is worth living in.

You know what the government can't charge you tag fees or insurance on?



Gets great mileage too

0.52% of $5,000 of appraised value.

My MUD tax is $26 per year.

Local school TX is 1.01% of appraised value minus $140K for Homestead Exemption.

Say my house is $500K. My school tax would be about $3600.

This is true. You dont own anything and if the democrats get back in charge, you will own even less.

On the MS Coast, not having a tag is more common than having a tag.


Got a ticket at a checkpoint once for tag being out of date. They waived it if I got it renewed so I did.

He's using eminent domain to demonstrate that you do actually own the property and the OP is a bunch of BS. If you didn't actually own the property the government would just seize it without having to legally pay "fair market" value. It has nothing to do with tax seizures


Quit paying taxes and see what happens to your property. Hint, you don’t get to keep it despite “owning it”

If cycling was the most common means of transportation, it would be taxes just like vehicles are

Nah. The age demographic that holds the majority of wealth in this country can pay the same amount I do.
