Cost to Register a Car After Moving to Nevada
Moving to Nevadameans 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$28.25
- One-time total$28.25
Your ongoing annual cost
For a typical three-year-old gas vehicle, expect about $400.50 per year. Nevada's registration cost is driven by the Governmental Services Tax: 4 cents per dollar of your vehicle's DMV valuation, which is 35% of the original MSRP, reduced 5% after the first year and 10% each year after down to a 15% floor ($16 minimum). A new $40,000 car owes about $560 in GST plus the $33 registration fee; the same car at ten years old owes about $84. Clark and Churchill county residents pay a 1-cent supplemental GST on top. Nevada has no EV-specific registration fee.
