My girlfriend hasn't paid the taxes on her vehicle for a year. We know they are due somewhere. Here is where it gets tricky. She is divorced. The vehicle is in her ex-husband's name. In the divorce agreement, he bought her the vehicle and agreed to make payments until it was paid off and cover insurace, she has to pay for taxes and maintanence. They both lived in the same county (in North Carolina) for about a year and a half. Then me and her moved to another county. He moved to another county as well. When he got the tax bill, he waited about 6 months to pass it along. That bill was from the first county, but we have all been living in different counties between the time he got the bill and we got it. Now the taxes are due again somewhere, but it may be 6 more months before we get a bill. Does she pay then in this county because she lives here? Or in his county because its in his name? And should the first tax bill still be due in the old county in in the new one?

Call the County office responsible for tax collection and ask them.

Im from n.c too. So let me tell you from experience, it doesn't matter what county you live in here, when you go to renew the tag, the tag will have a block on it for the county taxes,it doesn't matter what county you come from or go too, and if goes to long, you wil get a fine too.

I'm from Ohio and the only taxes we pay on cars are sales tax and annual registration fees.
I believe taxes would be owed based on where the car is registered which in turn would be determined by where you are living. If the divorce decree says the car is hers, her name should be on the title. I would suggest contacting whoever send the tax bill and explaining to situation. If they can't resolve the problem, consult an attorney in your area.

Let me begin by stating that I'm from another state. (Missouri)
I would first contact the County Assessor in your county & they should be able to tell you. If not, contact the DMV. Between the two of these some one should be able to give you answer.
