It all depends on if you paid sales tax at the time of purchase. I bought two vechiles last year (2012). I bought both at a dealer and paid sales tax when I bought them. When the tags were do this year, I was able to opt in to the new system and only had to pay the tag fee for 20 some odd bucks for each. If I had bought from another individual, and not paid taxes, I would have had to pay taxes to the state when my tags were due based on what they say the value of the vehicle is.

I just paid $60.10 ad val tax for my 95 Fatboy today ....all totaled I've probably paid over a grand easily in annual ad valorem taxes on this bike already.
Last year the 2011 Sportster cost me 70.90, this year I opted in and it only cost 20 for the new tag ...no more ad valorem tax. The sales tax was $455 when I bought it January 2012, it seems the old bike is costing more in taxes then the new one ....WTF?

I moved here from Wisconsin. I thought the ad valorem was BS when I first moved. Im much more comfortable with the sales tax when you buy the vehicle. Its the way it was in WI except there it was $90ish a year to renew for 4 wheels. Bikes were every 2 years so $20/vehicle is just fine with me. Otherwise getting socked with hundreds on your bday sucked.

I don't miss the "Birthday Tax" one bit... When I bought the Tri-Glide it was on the old system and I "converted" over to the new system at my first renewal as it was much cheaper in the long run. Trading the Tri-Glide for the Switchback worked out well as I owed no taxes since I was "downsizing".
On a side note I noticed my new license plate appears to be silk screened, or painted and clear coated, instead of stamped metal. Plus the plate now shows the owners county name as well unlike the older stamped motorcycle plates.
