The state rules behind the ledger
- Destination title and registration
- Title and register the vehicle within 30 days after becoming a Missouri resident.
- Destination tax and fees
- Bring the required property-tax or non-assessment documentation. A vehicle owned for at least 90 days before the move may avoid additional Missouri sales tax.
- Inspection or VIN
- Obtain the required identification-number and odometer inspection. A recent safety inspection is generally required, and vehicles in the St. Louis emissions area may also need an emissions inspection.
- Old-state recovery
- No source-complete New Mexico move-out refund rule is currently available in the calculator. Do not count an unverified refund as savings.
