When you apply for a vehicle title, you must pay motor vehicle sales tax of 6.25% of the purchase price. If buying a used vehicle from a private party, 80% of the standard presumptive value or 6.25% of the purchase price (whichever is greater) will determine the motor vehicle sales tax due at the time of titling.
You will also be charged a title transfer fee, registration fee, and local fees.
