Governmental Fees.
Governmental fees, such as tax, title, and license fees, are required in every retail vehicle transaction. If you are registering your vehicle in Arizona, you will pay 8.7% transaction privilege tax on the vehicle’s selling price. If you have a trade-in, you will be taxed on the difference after the trade. Other standard costs include state license fees (AZ state PDF link), a registration fee of $8.25, a title fee of $5.50, postage of $3.25, and a tire tax of $5.00.
These fees are non-negotiable and included on every vehicle transaction.
