How Connecticut vehicle taxes and fees are calculated
Connecticut applies state sales and use tax on most motor vehicle purchases, along with title and registration fees. Cities and towns bill property tax on vehicles separately.
Sales and use tax in Connecticut
The calculator applies the standard state rate to the taxable purchase price (sale price minus qualifying trade-in). In some cases, higher rates can apply to certain high-priced vehicles, which are not modeled here. For more information, see Connecticut duplicate title and temporary tag process.
Title, registration, and property tax
We include typical title and registration amounts for a standard passenger vehicle. Municipal property tax on vehicles is not included in the out-the-door estimate.
All values are estimates for informational purposes only and may differ from the exact amounts charged at DMV or by your town.
