CA's registration fees went up 50% this year. My registration fees were nearly $200 this year.

Sorry guys, in Arizona vehicle license are based off of the value of the vehicle. Just renewed my 08 Street Glide $435.00. I guess that's what we get for living where we can ride 365 days a year. With the sunny days we get the shaft!

When's it going to end...................

Sounds like a bargain compared to NH. I pay close to $200.

It used to be like that in Washington too. We had a bill go to the voters to reduce the cost of tags. WDOT and the Washington house and a few others were screaming like school girls to stop it but it passed resoundingly. There was a challenge against it but the Governor at the time said that he heard us loud and clear and made it stick. They have upped it a little bit but it is still a lot better than it used to be.

Envirnomental Laws increased all vehicle taxes on vehicles manufactured after 1967 or some crap like that, it's a Tax slapped on the the vehicle registration only good thing is it's completely deductable the following year from State and Federal returns.

Janet Napolitano is what happened to AZ. She built a lot of nice roads but AZ has big deficit issues just like every other liberal overspending state. She was lucky that Barack gave her a job or whe would have had to stick around and clean up her mess.

CA registration fees doubled for vehicles with a registration renewal date of May 26 and later. Our state sales tax went up by one percentage point so in some areas people are paying over 9% for sales tax. Gas tax increased by 12 cents a gallon. After the special election the other day I think the politicians are finally figuring out we don't want to pay more taxes. The only proposition that passed was the one that said politicians won't get a pay raise in years when there is a budget deficit. CA has the highest paid politicians in the country.

Default raising fees

well i am trying to feel bad for you, but i just can't quite get there...
here in Quebec, we have gone from $283.00 per year to register
to $534.00, and next year it will be $750.00...then in 2011 they will begin to take your driving record into account...so if you have a few speeding tickets ect ect, it will cost you even more......and if you have a sports bike, the registration will be $1468.00 per year...

double ouch
