If this is the original registration of your vehicle, you must pay
- the fees for your vehicle plates ($25.00)
- your title certificate fee of $50.00
- the sales tax
- The amount of the sales tax depends on the purchase price and your locality. See the current sales tax rates by jurisdiction.

County Use Taxes and Supplemental Fees
Residents of New York City and several counties in New York must pay a vehicle use tax to register a commercial vehicle or renew a commercial vehicle registration. The DMV collects the taxes for the city and the counties. Read the table below to determine if you must pay a vehicle use tax. If you have questions about these taxes, ask the city or county where you reside or have a business.
If you reside outside New York City and are exempt from the vehicle use tax in the county where you live or have a business, complete form UT-11C. If you reside in New York City and you are exempt from the NYC vehicle use tax, get form UT-11 from a DMV Call Center.
