Title Ad Valorem Tax
Effective March 1, 2013. Vehicles titled in this state will be exempt from sales and use tax and the annual ad valorem tax. Instead, these vehicles will be subject to a new, one-time title ad valorem tax that is based on the value of the vehicle. For more information on Title Ad Valorem Tax and FAQs, click HERE.
