There's no annual tax on vehicles in my state. You pay state sales tax when you first purchase it, and that's it. Some will argue that the annual vehicle registration is actually a tax (and I will not argue with that). I pay $71.50 per year to register my truck. Here is the break down of registration fees in NJ:
