Oh I knew they was going to show up in the mailbox soon.

Car-147.99
Truck-221.30
House-1302.81

Glad I don't own a boat!

Ugh, I love this time of year.

Just a little rant.

Ours are due this time of year too. I think the tax collector must be a not-so-distant relative of Ebeneezer Scrooge!

We pay property tax twice per year.
Once in April, Once in Sept.

Car plates are due on the owners birthday.

those taxes on your car and truck are they the registration or extra taxes because you own them?

In Florida we just pay vehicle registration once a year on the owners birthday. No extra tax though. Same with boats ect. These fee just doubled this year. It used to be a regular car was about 40-45.00 a year now it is 98.00.

We pay our property taxes once a year due in Nov. I think.

Maybe it is just the wording in the post. Personal property tax.

It's yearly taxes because we own them. Yes it's called personal property tax.

We do vehicle registration too yearly or you can pick two years for convience but still pay the same amount.

You pay property tax on your vehicles? I've never heard of that, do most states do it?

Haha, now I'm starting to feel worse. lol. Yes we pay personal property taxes every year to own them and park in our driveway...which we already paid taxes the first time we bought the house and the cars. Renters have to pay as well. Well to park the dang car. Crazy, eh?

But I think you are in Canada?

My house taxes are just not escrowed in our mortgage but no getting around anything else.

Lets say you owned a tractor in the country, you would have to pay taxes yearly on that for as long as you own it.

ETA, the taxes also goes to the library, schools, health department, etc. That would be the house taxes.

Just paid the tax on the car. Waiting for the bill on the house. The bill for the car went down this year, as did the assessed value, waiting to see if the house does too. There are two homes on our street that have been for sale all year and have not moved.

**ladykemma2** · 11-24-2009, 10:20 AM

yeah this time of year the money flows out - not in

Yeah, ours went down too. But it usually does every year.

Our house only went down a wee little.

**TigerGirl1226** · 11-24-2009, 11:04 AM

Our bill for our house taxes should be in any day now, yippie!!

We pay taxes on the car when you buy it and registration on "anniversary" of the sale every 2 years.

I've never heard of having to pay personal property taxes on things like cars. I've lived in Illinois and Iowa and neither of those states had it.

That seems like a double tax to me. Ick. Is it based off of the value of the vehicle?

**fixer** · 11-24-2009, 12:01 PM

Here, they are based upon value. The total vehicle tax rate is 1.1493%. It goes to state, county, school, library, health dept., extension service and fire protection. Each has a different rate. Just another reason not to drive an expensive car.
