Just moved to SC and it is an okay state. Tired of seeing idiots not wear helmets on their motorcycles and really load mufflers everywhere and dumb Carolina squatted trucks, but besides that... it is okay for the state equivalent of a barb-wire tattoo.

Let me just start this out by saying, my goodness I am absolutely shocked at the costs of moving vehicle registrations over from NC to SC. Also, the vehicle property tax is absurdly high.. Let me break down the total costs for you on 2 vehicles for anyone curious that is planning on moving here from another state.

So on vehicle one, I had a property tax of $333 that had to be paid. This is roughly the total costs of tax and tags/registration I paid last year in NC, and it was only for the tax. For the registration and tag for an EV, it was $433 in SC.

So vehicle 1 in total was $766.

Vehicle 2 taxes were $200 and the plates were $305.

Now most of the costs with getting the tags are the IMF charges..- "One-time fee for new vehicle previously registered in another state" of $250. I think this is the most ridiculous charge I have ever heard of. Talk about the government having you by the balls.

So for 2 cars (one being an EV which costs more) to have taxes paid and have a legal registration for people moving here from another state, it costs a whopping $1271. Staying in NC, it would have costs Around $550-650 TOTAL for taxes and renewal for both cars combined.

Take away is, the taxes are way too damn high, and that IMF charge is an absolute joke.

I will now step off my soapbox and drive these over priced registrations for the next year, bitterly....
