It depends. If youre buying the vehicle from a dealer, the dealer collects sales tax on the amount you actually paid, no matter how low. However, if you buy the vehicle from an individual, you pay use tax on the full value of the vehicle when you title and register it. The price shown on the bill of sale is normally considered the motor vehicles full value. But, if that sale price seems unrealistic, the county is authorized to use the average retail price shown in the most recent N.A.D.A.
