They screw you here in Georgia too. Your tag is due each year on or before your birthday and it is based on fair market value of the vehicle if it was purchased before 2013. If it was purchased after that you pay a 1 time fee based on FMV (I think around 7%) and then about $20/year for the tag.

When my MIL moved here from South Carolina with her 2016 Honda CRV she had to pay $1500 for her tag. She will then only pay around $20 a year for the tag each year after.

My cars are all older and I pay each year around my birthday. I'm not sure of the total but I know my Harley tag runs a little over $90 a year.

Before 2013 you didn't have to pay sales tax on a car if you purchased it from an individual but now they get you for 7% in tag fee's when you apply for the tag. It doesn't matter what you pay for the vehicle because they go off of FMV.
