Arizona Private Party Car Tax Calculator

A $4 title fee, $8 for registration ($9 for a motorcycle), the $1.50 air quality fee, and the vehicle license tax.

It is a yearly tax paid with registration in place of property tax. The first year it is $2.80 per $100 of 60% of the manufacturer’s base retail price. Each later year the value is 16.25% lower and the rate is $2.89 per $100. The minimum is $10.

Not from a private seller. From an out-of-state dealer, MVD checks whether tax was paid in the state of purchase. If none was paid, or it was less than Arizona’s use tax, use tax is collected when you register.

There is no sales tax on a transfer between individuals, family or not. The new owner pays the title fee, registration, and the vehicle license tax.

Apply for the title and registration within 15 days after the seller signs the title over to you.

No. In Arizona the plate stays with the seller, who must move it to another vehicle or turn it in within 30 days. You get a plate when you register.
