Cities and municipalities are getting really greedy. My son lives in Alexandria, Va. and has to pay a property tax on his car. Seventy five dollars a year.
The good thing (which isn't a good thing...) about Alexanandria, VA, is that it's proximity to the federal job trough, called Washington, DC, keeps employment and real estate high.
It's quite a bubble....
Many states have personal property taxes. In WV, I pay yearly personal property taxes on two vehicles, my boat and the boat trailer. I’m still better off than I was in NYC where there was no personal property tax.
