How Much Car Tag Plate Cost in Nc

Tax and Tag Together Program - September 2013 North Carolina changed the law on property taxes and registration fees for tagged vehicles.  The program was designed as a convenient way to pay registration fees and property taxes in one transaction at the NC DMV LICENSE PLATE AGENCY.

You must pay to NC DMV by mail, online or in person at a License Plate Agency.


If you purchase a vehicle and do not transfer an active tag to it, you will be required to either pay the property tax at the time you register the vehicle or acquire a Limited Registration plate which allows you approximately 60 days to pay the taxes. Limited Registration taxes must be paid to NC DMV.  Be sure to select Pay Limited Registration Taxes.

The Tag and Tax Together Program does not apply to vehicles that have an IRP plate (International Registration plate/ Apportioned Tag) or permanent/ multi-year plate. Please see Personal Property for listing requirements for these vehicles.

Pay Gap Notice

What is a Gap Property Tax Notice?
It is a property tax bill that covers any months your vehicle was unregistered or had an expired tag and the issuance of a new vehicle registration or renewal for that vehicle.

Example :
Your vehicle was broken down and sits for 6 months, while repairs were made the tag expired.   You were unable to renew the registration and pay property taxes because the vehicle could not pass inspection.  Now the vehicle is back in operation you have registered it and been issued a current tag.  The vehicle had a "Gap" in the registration while it was sitting waiting for repairs.  The Gap Property Tax Notice will be for the months in between when the tag expired and the new registration was issued.

I paid taxes when I tagged the vehicle?
Yes, when you were issued the new tag you did pay the property taxes for the tax year going forward which follows the new tag.  The "Gap" property tax is for the back months the vehicle did not have a valid registration.

Do I have to pay taxes on a vehicle that is not working?
Yes , North Carolina Statutes require that all vehicles be taxed as either a registered motor vehicle or personal property (unregistered vehicle).   Regardless of the condition or function of the vehicle it must be taxed, the tax value could be adjusted for the condition but it must be taxed.
