Motot Vehicle Tax (Car) in Manchester $159 for six months   SK   12/19/2014 02:02 PM  

I bought second hand car from Mew York. I moved to Manchester, CT and got it registered. For six months (Apr to Oct 2014), Town of Manchester, Collector of Revenue has sent me Motor Vehicle Tax Bill of $159. This is absolutely ridiculous. When I called Collector's office, I was told the car model is 2012 and that is why taxes are computed accordingly. It is a nightmare to receive $159 bill for every six months. I never heard of any such taxes in any other states I've lived so far in US. Is this for real? Request anyone living in Connecticut for long time to comment. Any way to get these taxes reduced?

When you register you Car at DMV in CT, they report your info to the Town Tax Collector. Yes in CT, we have to pay property tax for our cars. Few other states also have. MA has but not as that much of CT.

This is true and unfortunately you have to pay. Sorry sir, but welcome to CT, which is one of the highest taxed states in the country.

$159 for 6 months.
The amount is ridiculously high and it is such a pain to pay every six months. Connecticut sucks!

I live in TGM Waterford Commons apartment. I dont think this bill has anything to do with apartment or condo. It is applicable to all.

I own a house in Farmington and per year, I pay $535 for sewer and waste collection, around $7000 for property tax on my house and over around $600 for property taxes on my 2 cars.

I am sure $159 for six months does not sound a bad deal now !

Just a note, when you file taxes these taxes are deductible, that is this will reduce your income tax and you will get back some portion the tax you paid.

In other states they called it highway tax or something else,its everywhere in some other name,dont forget that in CT you have no tolls unlike NY so its always a give and take,in NYC you have a tax called city tax thats on top of everything else so stop fuming over these small things and pay for the well kept roads and clean cities.
