Since we live in good 'ole North Cackalaki...we don't have high property taxes on our cars...but I've heard folks say they visit a CarMax and use that as their "appraisal." PM Garrett (GameCockS2K) or Bryan (SC_Highlander) for details.

I've heard Lexington County quit accepting CarMax appraisals. Not sure about Richland. I'd, at the very least, take in your bill of sale and also a print out of a Kelly Blue Book "good" value printout to prove your car is not worth $33k or whatever they're saying.
Good luck.
Good luck.

They have free windshields and no inspections in Florida and it only cost about $40 a year to register the S2000.
How much does it cost to register in Greenville County, SC; dollar wise or percentage wise?

For what it's worth, when I lived in Ohio we didn't have property taxes on cars. It was a complete surprise when we became residents here. However, property taxes her are wayyyyyyyyyyyy lower. So in my opinion it is still cheaper to live here. As far as inspections, I wish we had EPA inspections here. I can't tell you the number of times I get behind some beater with a bad exhaust and get fumed out of my car.

Lexington county sucks:
2003: $1,065.78
2004: $944.50
2005: $568.00
2006: $317.79
2007: $257.17
Same way here, we pay $24 every other year for the tag. I've got no clue about the $15 DVM fee... somehow, it just doesn't seem to be that relevant to me.
As you can probably see, I started doing the CarMax thing in 2005.
