They are not really charging that for the plate itself which is actually $21, but the 6 % tax on the vehicles actual value
Kentucky Vehicle Registration Fees
Kentucky has fixed fees for registration and titling of your vehicle. You will also need to pay your usage tax based on a percentage of your vehicle price. Here is a general list of fees, but you will need to contact your county clerk's office to find out exactly what the costs will be.
Title fee: $9.
Speed title: $25 (available if you would like to get a title the next day).
Transfer fee: $17.
Yearly car registration fee: $21.
Title lien statement fee: $22.
Notary fee: Varies depending on county.
Vehicle inspection fee: $5.
Usage tax: 6% of the cost of the vehicle.
Oh, Ok. Here in Pa it's Sales tax at purchase and then 18.00 a year for registration after that. There is no yearly tax on the value of the vehicle like some states do.
