Live in California, my car hasn't been registered since '04, no non op?

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.
