Cost to Register a Car After Moving to Arkansas
Moving to Arkansasmeans re-titling and re-registering your vehicle as a new resident. Here's what that actually costs, computed from the state's current fee schedule.
One-time costs when you arrive
- Title fee$10.00
- One-time total$10.00
Your ongoing annual cost
For a typical three-year-old gas vehicle, expect about $25.00 per year — driving an EV changes that to $225.00. Arkansas registration runs $17 to $30 per year based on vehicle weight class — one of the cheapest in the country. EVs pay a $200 annual fee, plug-in hybrids $100, and conventional hybrids $50. The larger cost is sales tax at purchase and the county personal property tax assessed annually on your vehicle (proof of assessment is required to register).
