My plates, license, and registration is all based on my home address.  I pay my taxes to the great state of Texas.  I see people with Montana or New Mexico plates not sure where their tow is from or their insurance.  May not matter.  DAN

We own property in CA and our U320 and Honda are registered in CA.

I would not dare to go the South Dakota route as the financial risk is too great if CA ever found out I used South Dakota to avoid use tax and registration fees.

Registration in Texas

Reply #28 –
 I renewed my registration in Texas last week. Last year I paid $167 on a 95 U320, this year $352 on a 2003 U320. I checked and the 95 would have cost the same $352.

Tax office told me the fee structure was changed by our legislators effective last September. Used to be based on weight incremented every 100 pounds, now weight is broken into 7 brackets.

If you're registered in Texas and haven't had to register your coach since September you may be in for a surprise. No new taxes but they can sure raise fees.

Quote from: Brad Metzger –
In VA , a goodly number of big rig trucks have Maine tags .Don't know about that wrinkle ,but it's been going on for many , many years .
It is only the trailers being pulled by the big rigs.  And here is the reason:  "There are more trailers registered in Maine than any other state (except California - and that requires it's own explanation) and that's been true for over 40 years?

It's very simple - the cost to register is very low versus most states and, most often, no sales taxes are due. For instance a 5 year plate costs $90. If a title is required, that is only $45."

But they don't do motorhomes at those low prices.

Ouch! My registration comes due in April. Have been paying around $180. I never heard about the change in fee structure. That will hurt.

Just got my 93 GV tag and it was $21.00 plus $1 to look at the insurance verification and $1 to mail it.  I think it has bottomed out in Oklahoma.

Still a tad better than the TLCB (Texas Liquor Control Board) and bottle-clubs, which is the Texas I lived in during the late 60's.
