I recently replaced a vehicle, and received a tax bill on the old vehicle. Do I have to pay it?

Yes. If you replaced one vehicle with another, and used the same license plates, you must pay on the first vehicle in July. In January, you will receive a pro-rated supplemental motor vehicle tax bill, payable by February 1 for the new vehicle. This bill will reflect a credit for the amount you should have paid in July on the old vehicle. You will receive this credit without having to apply for it. However, you must have paid the entire amount due on the old vehicle in July.

If you obtained new license plates for the new vehicle, you must apply for a credit through the Assessor’s Office.
