The state rules behind the ledger
- Destination title and registration
- Title and register the vehicle through the county assessor's motor vehicle office within 30 days after moving to Idaho.
- Destination tax and fees
- Fees and taxes depend on the vehicle type, age, purchase price, and county; confirm the amount with the county assessor before the visit.
- Inspection or VIN
- Bring the vehicle to the county transaction because a county employee will inspect its vehicle identification number.
- Old-state recovery
- No source-complete Ohio move-out refund rule is currently available in the calculator. Do not count an unverified refund as savings.
