1. How do I figure out how much my taxes will be on a new vehicle I am purchasing?

We have a manual provided to us by the Department of Revenue that shows the value of all vehicles. We can give you an estimate from our manual by phone, fax, or email. If you want to figure an estimated amount yourself, take the market value (before any rebates, allowances, or trade ins) and multiply that by 6% if the vehicle will be in your personal name or by 10.50% if the vehicle will be in a business name.

After you have done that, you will multiply your answer by the tax rate of the district you live in. We can give you the tax rate if you tell us what your address is or you can find it on any of your tax bills for the current year. If you need an exact amount, you will need to fax, email, or come in and bring a title or bill of sale. For more information contact the Auditor's Office.

2. How do I know if my vehicle qualifies for a high mileage discount?

We have a chart provided to us by the Department of Revenue for mileage adjustments. The Auditor's Office can find out if you are eligible by looking at your mileage and year of your vehicle, to learn more and for any inquiries contact the Auditor's Office.

3. What do I need to bring with me to register a vehicle for the first time?

If you are moving from out of state, we will need to see your title or current registration. If you just purchased a vehicle, we need a title, bill of sale or purchase order agreement.
