Kansas charges property tax on your vehicle.

Didn't know this was a thing. 

 

You will pay property tax when you initially register a vehicle and each year when you renew your vehicle registration. Use the Kansas Department of Revenue Vehicle Property Tax Calculator to estimate vehicle property tax by make/model/year, VIN or RV weight/year, for a partial or full registration year.

Its a thing in Colorado and has been for at least the last 30 years. Government gets you when you pay the sales tax on the purchase and then they really screw you on registration as if your new car costs more to register than your old one.  They should operate the other way, encourage new, fuel efficient non-polluting cars with cheap registration and discourafage old, gas guzzling, pollution generators with punitive registration fees.

Next time I go to Kansas, I will park my vehicle in Missouri and walk the rest of the way.
