XBSIndex“Sacramento adds extra taxes and fees on top of the basic vehicle registration fee”
What they posted
ENOUGH of the hidden Car Tax! California's basic vehicle registration fee is $73. But Sacramento piles on extra taxes and fees to gouge you for hundreds more every year. As governor, I'll eliminate those extra charges. Then I'll ABOLISH the DMV entirely. https://t.co/zzoNbA6s1F
Why it's Truth
California DMV official registration fees page lists the registration fee alongside separate CHP, Vehicle License Fee, Transportation Improvement Fee, and county fees as required components. Fee calculators and statutes (RTC for VLF and TIF) confirm multiple additional charges beyond the base ~$73 registration fee, often totaling hundreds depending on vehicle value.
