The cost for tax, title, and license in Texas typically includes:
- Sales Tax: 6.25% of the purchase price or the standard presumptive value of the vehicle.
- Title Fee: $28 to $33 depending on the county.
- Registration Fee: Around $50.75 for a standard passenger vehicle, with potential additional local county fees.
For example, on a $25,000 vehicle, the sales tax would be $1,562.50, plus the $33 title fee and roughly $50.75 registration fee, along with possible minor county fees.
Additional points:
- Emissions fees may apply in some counties.
- If transferring a title late (after 30 days), penalties apply.
- Registration and title fees can vary slightly depending on the vehicle weight and county.
Thus, the combined cost for tax, title, and license in Texas typically totals around 6.25% sales tax plus roughly $80-$90 in title and registration fees.
