NY is still not too bad on vehicles. Truck registration is about $80 for two years and the yearly inspection is $10 (diesels - no smog check while gas vehicles are $21). The RV inspection is $6 and registration is a Jan 1 to Dec 31 cert and is prorated if it's renewed later in the year. Ours at full cost is $167.75, pro rated to last week when I sent it in was $115. Driver's licences went from about $20 for 10 years, now at $65 for 8 years and if you lve near NY City, add another $80 for e metropolitan driving tax.


While these are still within reason, the state has been a fiscal mess for years and other taxes on about everything, including gas and diesel fuel are, I believe, the highest in the country with the exception of California.


We looked at moving to VA a few years ago. Many taxes were much lower but other things taxed brought the dollar outlay pretty well back to what we are paying in NY at that time. Today, wish we could have made the move.
