Michigan charges a yearly tax/licence fee on motorhomes, based on the ORIGINAL NEW purchase price, no depreciation after the first three years. There are some extreme age limits for prior to 1984, which is then based on weight.

Clifford, I received a tax bill just this summer for the year 2008, I was kind of stunned....I usually do a decent job.....!  I moped around for a day or two...thinking about it and finally called the State and started asking questions.......well it ended up being when I filed my taxes I did the internet filing.....the lady said, you failed to send page 8, if you send it......you won't owe anything.......($1,200.00) I said, I filed on the internet how do I lose a page?........she paused.....and said........send page 8 again!.....I did! and haven't heard another word yet!  (fingers crossed)

    What do you mean "extra taxes"?  North "Never Seen a Chance to Tax People We Didn't Love" Carolina sends me a tax bill for my bus; it's tied to the plate -- if you don't renew your plate (i.e. if it's in storage while you're converting), you don't pay tax.  If you do renew the plate, you pay the plate fees then they send you a tax bill.  This year the blood-suckers sent me a bill for almost $18.  No wonder the retirement magazines rate NC as being one of the worst places to retire.

I forgot what it cost to register the boat around 1000 I think but this a Tax,Bruce N.C doesn't seem as bad as California lol

good luck

Suck it up big guy.  I thought you and Warren Buffet were on a crusade to pay more taxes not less.

I feel for ya Clifford, you should moor it in Oregon.  I am guessing this is a personal property tax assessment.  Guys with jets and other corporate aircraft are savvy enough to never let it set on the ramp in a CA city (like Palm Springs) when the CA Tax Gestapo are due to come around and collect the tail numbers off the aircraft.  I feel for the folks that live in the bankrupt CA welfare state and are underwater and can't sell out.

  IRS out of Austin lost a document, said we owed a lot of $$$$$ in back tax. Must have mailed, faxed the stuff 20 times, deny deny deny. Finally got an IRS advocate, Austin even tried telling her she didn't send it, around and around it went. Over three years trying to fight it, trying to get whichever moron down there to do their job.

  Then that guy flew his plane into their building..... our problem was solved less than a month later, advocate said she never saw anything like it, said suddenly lots of peoples problems were solved. Feel like decorating that guys grave someday, lol.

Clifford, move it to South Carolina and register it as an airplane. State law says that all aircraft on SC soil on december 31st. are subject to state tax. Guess how many private and corporate planes fly to the bahamas on dec. 29th for new years!!!

They have something like that in Washington too.  That's why a year ago now we were in a panic to get our boat out of WA because apparently we had 45 days grace to do that.  They have a little annual sticker in the window of all their boats and evidently the revenuers just walk the dock looking for boats without the sticker.

  I had a cop in Minnesota get PO'd at me over an expired license plate sticker, was only an oversite on my part. He claimed it was tax evasion and could write it up that way if he wanted.

I had a 1974 Harley Superglide. I once got a property tax bill for $0.29  (does anyone know where the cents key went?). The stamp on the envelop was $0.35  (where's that darn cents key again?). I guess they make the money here in Moore County NC by using bulk mailings!

    In NC, the loss of $.06 is nothing compared to the fine feeling that local government gets for the feeling that they haven't missed an opportunity to tax us.

I just got the annual NC "property tax" on the Eagle, $149.29. 

Not as bad as what happened a couple years ago.  I got a B.S. tax bill for an old 1983 piece of crap Georgie Boy motorhome I paid $1,200 for.  I got a property tax bill for $450!  Somebody made a huge mistake on the assessment and classified it as something it was not.  By the time I got the bill they said it was too late to change it!
