How Delaware vehicle taxes and fees are calculated
Delaware does not charge general sales tax, but it does impose a Motor Vehicle Document Fee on most vehicle purchases. You also pay title and registration fees when titling the vehicle.
Motor Vehicle Document Fee
The calculator applies an approximate document fee rate to the net purchase price (sale price minus any qualifying trade-in credit), which functions similarly to a sales or use tax on vehicles. For more information, see Delaware duplicate title and temporary tag process.
Title and registration in Delaware
We include a typical combination of title and registration fees for a passenger vehicle as a single estimated line. Specialty plates and certain transfers can change the final amount.
All values are estimates for informational purposes only and may not reflect the exact amounts charged by the Delaware DMV.
