Arizona Vehicle Tax:
The registration fee for your vehicle is generally less than $10. However, there is also a Vehicle License Tax assessed at the time you register your vehicle. This one is the biggie, it is basically the equivalent of the personal property tax charged by most other states. The more valuable your vehicle is, the higher your Vehicle License Tax will be. Each year when you renew, your costs will be less as the vehicle declines in value.
Arizona Estate Tax:
Arizona does not currently impose an inheritance tax or a gift tax.
