bikes value for tax appraisel

[Houtman_imp]

In NC we have property tax on our vehicles , including motor cycles.
Last year my 2013 CB 1100 with ABS was appraised at $ 9,900 and my 2014 DLX at $ 7,652
I just got the bill for my 2018 tax and my 2013 and it is still $ 9,900 !
Is it that very few 2013 with ABS were sold , perhaps I should sell my bike to Buncombe County / NC tax office !

that is so sad . we have no such thing in Florida and have 9 vehicles , most with antique tags [ about $32 a year ] other than insurance that is it. we have no state income tax , no tax on food , my home is homestead exempt and less than $60 a year tax on 31 acres of agricultural land.

I would declare the bike to be worth about 5K myself , without ABS even less. good luck SMH

You can dispute the value with a written letter. They won't come down much but if you keep on them you get them down some.

I had an '88 Prelude (4WS, fun car) that I bought mint in 2003 for $2k. It was appraised at $4500! I told them to come buy it immediately! I would even give them a deal at $4k!

I once owned a '76 Triumph Bonneville that was appraised for more than it sold for new!!

I’d take it to a bike dealer and ask if they’d appraise it for the retail & wholesale value. Then present the info and see if they’ll meet you somewhere in between.

I’m glad we don’t have that kind of tax in Pa...however, they screw us in other ways.

In Colorado, a portion of the annual registration fee is based on the original purchase price, not on the current appraised value, but they apply a sliding scale each year to determine the tax amount. This year's registration on my CB will be about $60, of which $3 is the property tax piece (which is tax deductible if you itemize).

I am thinking about moving in with you !
Can I bring my wife and 2 cats as well.
All joking apart we love the Asheville area , our house property tax is $4,100 but still a lot less than what we paid in NY.

Asheville huh? Do you, by any chance, know how much the tax is on Biltmore House? I tried to find it on-line and was never successful. Here you can look up any address on the on-line property tax site the city runs.

In Va. Beach the tax on my bikes and car goes down every year. Is still kinda high though.

not to derail but Fl gives tax breaks for all home owners , more for veterans , more for seniors , more for disabled , etc. I fit into 4 categories

How is your fee calculated, is it a %? So theoretically each year your bill should be less as the vehicle depreciates?

Here vehicles are rated by weight, the heavier the vehicle the more you pay. My Tacoma is $143, motorcycles are $43.

Blows me away that they tax you folks every year on the same vehicle. I mean you paid the tax on it when you bought it new right? My brother in law in Kentucky has to pay a tangibles tax on all his vehicles too. Crazy.

Blue book low retail in is less than $4K - use the blue book on them

I agree , never heard of such a thing and would not expect it in NC .
lived there a total of 4 years in the 70's while in the Marines.
owned a mobile home for 3 but it was in a park , kept my Fl tags and license both times and only payed local sales tax

Here in Indiana we have to pay an Excise tax every year for the registration. For our 2013 Ford C-max as an example it runs about $300 or so all based on a vehicles value. Kind of blew me away when I first got here from Ontario Canada as there it was a flat $75 a year for cars and trucks and $40 for motorcycles no matter what you drove.

I worked for the Biltmore Estate for 5 1/2 years , great place .
They are NOT tax exempt and at one time I read the amount of tax but can not remember how much :it is high !

I will put mine on ebay with a starting price of $ 20,000 .........

I live in Eastern NC, my 2 yr old 2014 STD is still valued at$9200. That’s crazy, but my wife’s year old 16 Honda CRV is only valued at $23k. None of this makes much sense, guess it all works out in the end.
