Arizona Title Transfer Fee Calculator

Transferring a vehicle title in Arizona costs $4 in title fees — but the real cost of a private-party purchase is usually the tax: Arizona charges NO use tax on private-party vehicle sales — dealer sales are taxed, private sales aren't. You'll still pay the annual Vehicle License Tax at registration. Budget the tax on top of the title and plate fees, and transfer within the state's deadline to avoid penalties.
