How Arizona vehicle taxes and fees are calculated

Arizona applies transaction privilege tax (similar to sales tax) on vehicle purchases, plus a Vehicle License Tax (VLT) and registration fees based on vehicle value and weight.

Sales tax and local tax in Arizona

The calculator uses a combined state and average local tax rate on the net purchase price (sale price minus qualifying trade-in). Actual rates vary by city and county. For more information, see Arizona duplicate title and temporary tag process.
