Better tag your projects, no more mechanic/parts receipt waivers

Or I'd pay a quarter for the state to email me a reminder. How much would that cost the state?

And why is it $5 to auto-generate a note on two cents' worth of card stock and twenty-three cents' worth of postage (bulk mail rate for postcards)? A bit of profit-taking from the subjects, perhaps?

I thought it was 50 cents? Where did you get $5?

Also you can get emails for free

I took gl55's word for it above. Based on the link you provided, he was inaccurate; it's still free for vehicles, and only fifty cents for boats and motors (and yes, e-mails are free for both). That's much more reasonable, and quite in-line with the actual costs. Mea culpa.

 

[gl55]

Sorry. I guess I misremembered what the cost was. Still it is just a scam to get people to forget in hopes of collecting more in penalties.

Blinocac, I'd grant you a small service in providing a registry of property (just as the recording system provides a benefit to property owners insofar as it resolves title issues). I can see a small fee for that. Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure.

That should be a one time fee though.

 

[Dave70968]

That's arguable. Keeping the office staffed is an ongoing expense. But, again, I think we're arguing over a small fraction of the budget; most of the money goes to other purposes.

OK, so I have an update, not that it will help anybody, but I tagged 3 cars today and save $600. Yup, the limit is not $100, it is $100 per year up to 2 years of expired tags. Depending on the cost of the tag, you will be facing at least $248 for you project vehicle tag versus $41 (cheapest car tag @ 2 years of tags). This was not publicized or discussed publicly. The gov was trying to hide it. These cars are not road worthy, yet I had to tag them as though they were just to avoid $600 in penalties. Total BS. I don't mind tags, they are road use taxes, but please explain to me why I have to tag a car that sits in my shop for 6 years?

X2 exactly my thoughts, i havent drove my cougar in 3 years.

By that token, A project would have to sit unused for 11 years in order for the fines and penalties to equal black tagging the car every year. Seems they get their money either way.

Good thing dad's has been sitting since 1989.
