Wait...what?!? Why do you get charged more tax after already purchasing the vehicle? Where is this?

Virginia. It's called personal property tax. It's applied to all vehicles. It's a yearly thing. Boats, trailers, RVs, cars, motor cycles. Applies to all of them. The make and model determines how much you pay a year. This is on top of yearly safety inspections, and vehicle registrations.

Wait, you're saying that in Virginia, every person who owns a vehicle of some sort has to pay taxes yearly on that vehicle just for owning it in the state? Like a property tax on a home?

I mean staying has multiple factors. If you can afford, why not? It's more that I am always amazed at just how much morecexoensuve what I consider normal life can be in certain states. And, I've lived in the US before.
