View Full Version : If buy TH in CA do I pay AZ sales tax when reg. ??
The used TH I am looking at is being sold in CA by a personal party. Will I have to pay AZ sales tax when registering here ???
I know I have to pay the normal couple hundred bucks for registering based on value but is there any sales tax also ('06 model)or any other major fees ???
I bought a used quad in CA and dont rember paying any sale tax but just want to make sure ...
I don't think so on a used trailer from a private party.

California is weird about these things. I bought a vehicle from a private party in another state and was not required to pay sales tax here. But in California you have to pay sales tax on a used vehicle purchased there if you live there, but I'm not sure in your case since you live out of state. But I do know if CA can get tax you they will:(

I found this site at DMV that you can ask about sales tax.

I don't know about used but if it was new not only will you pay State tax when you register it but you will eventually pay City tax when they track you down courtesy of the MVD.

i bought a truck out of state private party, took it to the dmv here in mesa and reged it, no tax. with my trailer that i own that was reged in cali, i justed reged it here no tax, same with bikes and quads. even if you buy it in cali you dont pay anything till you reg it here in az so no tax, one nice thing about az, just give the guy money for the trailer and get the title thats it

Did you buy any of the vehicles from a dealer in California?
It does not matter from where you buy it but it's where you register it. If you buy used from private party out of state, no AZ sales tax due nor city. If you buy used from an out of state dealer...you will pay AZ sales taxes and city sales tax. I saved a ton buying my classic Mustang from a private party last month. Tags where only $19 for a vehicle that appraised for over 30K. Gotta love it...
You shouldn't have any problem buying USED, from a PRIVATE PARTY out of AZ, since (for now) this state only charges tax on items purchased (new OR used) from dealers, no matter what state they're in.
I called MVD and they .... you know ... the level-1 prisoner ;) ... also said no taxes.
