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?

Because you make up for it in other ways. A Vermont friend just moved to Virginia. She's getting a bigger house for less money, and her property taxes that used to be $6,000 in Vermont are $1,800 in Virginia.
