Tag tax refund?

[Dangermouse]

Have GA taxes changed or did I luck out, ?

My D was/is on the old ad valorem system where the county would send me a tax bill every year based on a decreasing evaluation.

This year it was about $90 plus the $20 tag bill, so I sent off a check for about $110 a week before my birthday.

Three weeks later I get my tag sticker and the receipt is for only $20 plus a few dollars for “late fees”.

Had I been put onto the new system by mistake?

And today I get a check from the county for $78

Any other GA had the same experience? Am I now on the $20 a year plan ?

In Montana if your car is 10 years old you get
a permanent plate with no annual fee, there are
no smog checks, no roadside inspections and my
10 MPH over speeding ticket was $20...love it here

They used 3 different way of calculating mine on 4 passenger vehicles.
Check out this link with a calculator to sort it out.

Paying up front means they get to hit every set of hands (with a few exceptions) it passes through 7%....
