Todd Esque: My name is Todd Esque and I'm a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. I was on a field expedition down in Mexico over in Baja and one evening at the end of the field day I had the great opportunity to capture on my cell phone I captured video of a tarantula hawk wasp finding a place to hide its prey.
Calculating Your Tax Amount. Local car tax bills are a function of the tax rate times each $100 of assessed value. In other words, take the value of the car as assessed by DTA, divide by 100, and multiply the result by the tax rate (which is $4.57 for most vehicles). For personal use vehicles, a substantial part of this bill is then subsidized by the stateâs Car Tax Relief program.
Here is an example to show how your refund amount is determined. You paid $137.50 to register your vehicle for two years. The amount you paid included $62.50 for the two years of the registration ($31.25 per year), $50 for the title certificate and $25.00 for the vehicle plates. You surrender the vehicle plates during the first year of the registration, and you qualify for a refund of $30.25. This is a refund of the $31.25 fee for the second year of the registration with the $1 processing fee subtracted. There is no refund of other fees or taxes.
