I don't think they are as hi here as in some other states,esp.real estate taxes.But,to me,paying personal property tax on something yr after yr that has already been taxed at the outset is just a bunch of nonesense.
And,it was on my assessment as an "RV" in the beginning,which is MORE taxable.I changed that status in a hurry.I told them,"Who told you to assess that horse trailer like that in the first place?" No credible answer for that one!

In Georgia, you can avoid paying sales tax on the purchase of a trailer if you purchase a used trailer or vehicle from an individual. Make sure you have a bill of sale from the person. But if you purchase from a dealer (even one out of state) you will have to pay the applicable taxes for your county. As far as I know, there is no way to avoid paying the advalorem every year to get a tag.

That's pretty odd to be able to register a vehicle in one state without being a resident of it. Was it a temp tag or a permanant plate?
In OH you can keep the out of state plate until it expires. Then, being a resident of OH you have to get OH tags. Out of state driver's license is different- that you have to do immediately upon becoming a resident. Though 30 days is an oft mentioned "grace period" for that.
