Weight Based Auto Tax Law Prompts Widespread Concern
A new state law taxes automobiles by weight rather than cylinder count or horsepower. Owners must register yearly by December 30 to receive new plates, or face $1 monthly penalties and possible public auction of the vehicle. Transfers require the seller and county treasurer to file, or buyers have no title. The law also tightens rules on theft, transfer of ownership, and necessary use of silencers on country roads, with stricter tail light and near tracks rules.
