for used vehicles. The list is

choices on where to get a cer-
tified appraisal. A licensed
dealer for the vehicle type
may perform the service.

dealer s fee can range from
$40 to $500. with most fees
from $100 to $300. Also a

may also appraise a vehicle
for a fee determined by the
adjuster.

the title application within the
20-day period. Be aware that
an appraisal fee may offset
any tax savings An example
is: tax on a $7,600 of value
equals $100 A $100 appraisal

SPV more than $1,600 to save
any money.

method of calculating motor
vehicles sales and use tax due
when buying a used vehicle to
help fund public school edu-
cation.

due when a vehicle is regis-
tered and titled at the county
tax office. A purchaser must
pay the tax with in 20 county

purchase or the date the vehi-

use.
If buying from a private
party, the tax is 6.25 percent
of the sales price, if 80 per
cent or more of the vehicle s
standard presumptive value is
paid; or if 80 percent of the
vehicle's SPV is not paid, or if
the certified appraised value,
if less than 80 percent was
paid, is less than the 80 per
cent of the vehicle’s SPV.
