Any ideas, experience,or advice, much appreciated... Thank You....
If the car is in your name, you have 2 choices: PAY for registration annually..... (Or have your tax refund siezed by the Franchise Tax board) Or register it as a Non-Op status.
I've had cars that I sold go UNregistered by the new owner and because I was stupid and forgot to mail in the attached form stating the new owners info, they attached my tax refund. These jerkoffs have no sense of decency about that stuff.
Damn. Just DAMN. Sure am glad I don't live out there.
Yeah...Aside from the idiots in the government, this place is fantastic.[/QUOTE
Agreement...I ,may have a different route....
And yes ,R.R.R.. I do ,want out of Commiefornia.....
Another wrong response.Your royally screwed.
Your going to have to pay 13 years of back registration, and penalty's if you want to register it in California in 2017, withought it ever being in the system as non op.
Have you made ANY inquiries about the car with the DMV over the last 7-10 years?
If not over the period, walk in as though you just acquired the car and start over.
Depending on the year of your car, there are loopholes for classic vehicles in the code that exempt you from back registration.
It's not a lost cause.
Another wrong response.
Once the car goes several years without being registered, it is dropped from the system. To register it now, it is as if the car never existed. There are no back fees to pay. You will need to get a VIN verification, pay transfer fees (Even though YOU are the last owner) and sales tax. I have bought "yard cars" that people bought and let sit for years. Almost every one of them was unregistered for10 years or more. EVERY time I called DMV to check status, they told me that the vehicle is no longer on file and will have to have a new file created.
It isn't as easy as re-registering but you are in no way screwed.
Cripes! Do you even get to own your own rainfall in WV or hillside stream without a tax?Its kinda weird her in WV, the last persons name the car is titled in pays the taxes on it, forever, regardless if it is driven or not. Until it is re-titled, or the title is turned into the state as scrap.
They call this little money making scheme personal property taxes, they way they get you is you have to pay taxes on all of them in full on all cars you own, including car or utility trailers and atv's over 50cc or no license plates for your daily drivers, this also includes your home, that they will sell to the highest bidder, if you do not pay in full.
So basically you get taxed on stuff you bought years ago, every year.
From my experience I would say Stay away from the DMV office. I bought a '78 Ford F-250 4x4 just because it had a 4 speed and both front & rear Dana 60s. I asked the DMV clerk to check the status. She told me that I owed back fees to 1994, and that total was $1710. I asked if these old vehicles ever dropped off of the system, she giggled and said "well now that you inquired it's back up for 7 more years. I called Donna Leek in Grass Valley, told her what was up. She has a business dealing with the DMV, she goes by the name the DMV gal. She got me a title for $150. Don't bother with the DMV drones, they just want to jack you up for cash.Any ideas, experience,or advice, much appreciated... Thank You....
All I ever had to do was sign a statement saying the car was stored and not driven.
This was when I lived over there, and not AZ.
AZ is easier.
SHHHHHH
Don't let the secret out. I've registered a couple of cars in AZ for under $50, then bring that title back to CA wiping out the back fees.
You let out the secret! Works great. Dont get caught. It MIGHT be illegal.SHHHHHH

I tried two options... AAA wanted 604.00.....No bueno!Yes, IF it's a classic car over 30 or 40? years old you can waive back fees.
I did it once with the help of a DMV registration service in El Monte called Tony's Registration Service.
I bet if you googled: DMV waive back fees classic car or classic car CA DMV back fees you'd find info.
Just move out of Kalifornia, everybodies doin it. Problem solved. Lol
(Agreed... Waiting for liberal family idiots, to close the estate b.s.out.)
Glad you got it fixed without the dmv fisting you in the butt.
