Questions .

What is the sales tax rate on a car in Flagstaff?

The combined sales tax rate for a vehicle purchase in Flagstaff is about 9.18%. In Arizona a trade-in reduces the taxable amount, so you pay tax only on the difference between the price and your trade-in value. Rates change over time, so treat this as a close estimate.

How much are taxes and fees on a $35,000 car in Flagstaff?

On a $35,000 used vehicle with no trade-in, taxes and fees in Flagstaff come to roughly $3,658.39, including sales tax, title and registration fees, and the state's Vehicle License Tax (VLT). Dealer doc fees are separate; each dealership sets its own, and Rateous itemizes everything for your exact deal.

What is the Vehicle License Tax (VLT) in Arizona?

Arizona charges a Vehicle License Tax with registration: for a new vehicle it works out to about $1.68 per $100 of base MSRP the first year, and it shrinks each year as the assessed value depreciates. Rateous includes an estimate of it in every payment quote so your out-the-door number is real.
