The state rules behind the ledger
- Destination title and registration
- Register a vehicle principally operated in Vermont within 60 days after moving to the state.
- Destination tax and fees
- Bring proof of prior purchase-and-use tax paid. Vermont's tax credit and amount due depend on the prior jurisdiction and vehicle facts, in addition to title and registration fees.
- Inspection or VIN
- Complete Vermont's vehicle inspection within 15 days after registration unless the vehicle is covered by a stated exception.
- Old-state recovery
- Mississippi says the registration credit cannot be used after an out-of-state move and does not issue a move-out refund.
