I'm all for anything that will make it more difficult for some to not even pay the little bit of tax on a ten or fifteen year old car. Now if they would just do away with 6 month insurance policies, I could drop the uninsured motorist protection on my auto insurance.

As long as I can still do it online it's OK with me.

Call me naive if you like but this sounds like it will be one less bill I have to respond to. That seems good to me. Whether I pay it now or in 3 months is irrelevant in the long run. Thus, simpler is better... to me. Whatdaheck February 7, 2013 12:49 p.m. Report abuse

Thank you. People at like they are paying more or having to pay earlier or whatever they think. If this is a burden you CANNOT afford you car.

one of the main reasons is because dmv has people in daily if you have even been in line to renew tags who did not pay their prop tax on the vehicle,they have to go to dept of rev pay the bill then return to dmv to renew their tags after it is paid causing headaches for the dmv folks.It also happens to dealers when folks transfer their tags and have not paid property tax,the dealer has to call and get them to go pay their tax and get a reciept before they can get their tags due to the tax stop on them.

Guess you never paid for your tag on line. It asks you the county in which the car is registered. It will be mixed up if you dont know or give them the wrong info. I like the idea. We have 3 cars. That means I write 3 checks for the tags and then another 3 for the taxes. It will be more convenient for me. Six pieces of paper. That is one about every two months.

Didn't the state just make a multi-million dollar mistake on Medicare or Medicaid?

djofraleigh - "...it is harder for the poor guy when he buys a car, having to come up with the cost of the car, the 30+ for tags, insurance, $75 for title, and now the $10 or $20 for property tax."

Hi DJ - Some dealerships will add those things to the financing of the car, or will give a temporary tag and (I think) 30 days to come up with some of it.
