As mentioned above, generally dealerships handle DMV-related fees -- such as title transfers and registration -- for you until it's time to renew your registration , of course. Learn more about what your state charges upfront and annually in our sections on Title Transfers and Car Registration. Be prepared to pay a state car sales tax; this percentage depends on your state. Note that some areas also have county, city, and even school district car taxes , too.
Your dealer will walk you through this process. Some states provide online car tax calculators or charts to help you get an idea of how much you'll pay. NOTE : Many states require yearly property taxes on vehicles in order to renew your registration. For information specific to your state, contact your county clerk's or assessor's office.
Once you've paid your dealership fees, DMV fees, and all related car taxes, it's time to purchase car insurance or meet your state's financial responsibility laws. Not all owners take this cost into consideration—and depending on your state, it can significantly increase the total amount you pay for your vehicle. For example, older model used vehicles might require only the state's minimum liability coverage; on the flip side, new cars might need both liability insurance and comprehensive and collision coverage.
You can find these fees further down on the page. Many dealerships allow you to trade-in your old car in exchange for a credit applied to the price of a new vehicle. In California, the sales tax applies to the full price of the vehicle without considering trade-ins.
Many dealers offer cash incentives or manufacturer rebates on the sticker price of a vehicle in order to encourage sales. In addition to state and local sales taxes , there are a number of additional taxes and fees California car buyers may encounter. These fees are separate from the sales tax, and will likely be collected by the California Department of Motor Vehicles and not the California Board of Equalization. Dealerships may also charge a documentation fee or "doc fee", which covers the costs incurred by the dealership preparing and filing the sales contract, sales tax documents, etc.
These fees are separate from the taxes and DMV fees listed above. Because these fees are set by the dealerships and not the government, they can vary dealership to dealership or even vehicle to vehicle. The CVRA weight fee is calculated using the weight currently on the vehicle record. Make sure that you enter your new county and zip code in the Home Address Information so that the fees calculated will be based on those due for your new address.
It is important that you change your address on any other vehicles that you own and for your driver license. If a Special Interest License Plate is currently assigned to the vehicle, the cost of the plate renewal is included in the displayed fees. However, if the transaction is a transfer of ownership, the plate fees will not display. This transaction generates all registration fees due; use tax is all that will be due if you qualify for an exemption from registration fees. You may deduct the VLF from the total fees due on or after your transfer date, for an estimate of fees that will be due.
This transaction only calculates the fee for one transfer. For an estimate of the fees due, add one transfer fee for each buyer in between you and the registered owner listed on the front of the title.
The weight fee is calculated using the weight currently on the vehicle record. This transaction only calculates full year registration fees. Non-Operational provides information and instructions for adding or retaining non-operational status to a vehicle. This transaction generates renewal fees 75 days before the expiration date. It is optional to pay them 75 to 31 days prior to the expiration date; however, they must be paid when a transfer is completed within 30 days prior to the expiration date.
