If you are a resident of New York, you MUST pay a vehicle use tax when you register your car.
I'm in a county outside of NY, could you tell me the use tax and fee that I have to pay?
To determine the use tax you should be paying in counties outside of NY state please use this chart: www.chartfortaxesoutsidenewyorkstate.com, find your location in the chart and then add 3.25% to the fee listed in the chart.
SOON I will be moving from New York City to settle permanently, what should I do?
In this case you must register your vehicle here within 30 days of becoming a resident moving.
I see. What do I need to bring along with me when I head to the DMV office?

Are the requirements I need to meet similar to registering a local vehicle?
