North Carolina RV Registration Fee Calculator

RV registration in North Carolina splits by type. Self-propelled motorhomes register like other motor vehicles — motorhomes pay the standard $46.25/yr passenger rate plus county property tax on the coach's value. Towed travel trailers and campers run on a separate schedule: roughly $18 per year. House/camping trailers have their own statutory plate: just $18/yr — cheaper than a utility trailer. County property tax on the RV's value is collected with renewal (Tag & Tax). Because motorhome MSRPs are large, value-based charges hit RVs harder than any other vehicle class.
