I will never understand why anyone would live in those states that charge outrageous personal property taxes.

I have seen a few "Montana" plates in S. Florida......no sales tax and if the car is over 10 years old then it is just a one time tag fee then the tag is good for the life of the car!
The tags tend to be on high end cars (Lambo, 2 Ferraris and a Range Rover come to mind as cars I have noticed)

For me, it's where my business is, trust me if I could leave this garbage state of CT I would in a heartbeat but I'm too old to start all over again. BTW...some of the best boating in the country is up here...if you can afford it

Really? Cold water even in the summer? Fog that hides buoys when your running offshore?

I can't see the allure but I will tell Stu Jones from FPC that the keys are done, the best boating in the country is in CT!

Business in NC for me and my wife too. Also where I grew up and my mom lives. Retiring to TN though and we have a place in KY as well. Good boating all around us at all the places we own. Maintaining 3 homes is a PITA though, but NC is the most expensive personal property/real property tax wise. Our taxes in KY went down, in NC they went up 300. TN has pretty high property tax, once we close on our new place for more than 250K less than the tax value, I make a trip to the courthouse and show them what we paid and try to get them down to that figure and save a couple thousand a year. My truck (tow vehicle) in NC 650 a year personal property tax and tag. My truck in TN, 85 a year if I get the save the black bear tag, 35 if I don't. No personal property tax on it.

Wow, you're a real d!ck.

Yup...Long Island Sound, boat-able 90% of the time and plenty of chop. Long Island, Orient Point, Shelter Island, Mystic, CT River, tons of Islands, the Hamptons, Montauk, Block Island, Newport, Martha's Vinyard, Peconic Bay, Great South Bay, NYC...et al. Yeah, one of the top areas in the country, water is fine unless you're a pu$$y

It's in the name...... Long (ISLAND) it's all boating....

Obviously you struggle with sarcasm....

gotcha, must have not had my coffee that day.
