Ask DS.....car tag

[tombstone]

childs play compared to City of Clarksdale

A lot of things go into how much your car tag is going to cost. Local tax rates, school bonds, county and municipality populations, tax basis, other taxes, etc. That is why it costs more for the same exact vehicle in Lee county than it does in Hinds county.

For example, Clarksdale is THE highest car tag tax rate in the state. Not only do they have a fairly low population of tax payers and car owners, but they have a very large area protected by the levee (which is one of the taxes on the tag), several school bonds for both county and city, and a whole host of other fun little charges. (That is why, when I was living in Water Valley and spoke with a friend of mine who lived in Clarksdale, I found that we had each bought the exact same vehicle within about a month of each other. My car tag was over $400.00, and his was almost 3 times that amount. Ain't government wonderful.)

Depends on which district your in
Coahoma co. taxpayers have not payed an advalorem tax to the levee district since 1994........................................

But in 2015, this will change.....................just say in

Well since we are gonna pay more taxes can we get some of that nice white rock on the north end of the county like they did the south?

That tag would have cost you $1000 in Yalobusha county. Count your blessings.

I bought a new 5th wheel cmaper this year, tag was $500. Tag for F150 was less than $300... now why in the hell does something with no motor in it cost 2x as much? And I only use it 6 months out of the year...

Some jacked up stuff.

There's your problem. Trying to understand Mississippi Car Tag Regulations is about as easy as understanding A woman. It simply cannot be done.

Deadeye - The thought process by those setting the tag fees are, "If he can afford to buy a 5th wheel camper, he can afford to pay whatever price we want to charge." $500 does sound high.

Donia - Humphreys County should be the cheapest place to live in MS. With property taxes for undeveloped land running $10.00/acre, they ought to be burning $100 bills to heat the courthouse in the winter.

Luxury Tax no joke. They also apply a luxury tax to motorcycles.

Doesn't weight play some roll in the fee?
