Alabama state guide
Alabama automotive tax
Alabama taxes new and used motor vehicles at a 2% state automotive rate on the net trade difference, with local automotive taxes potentially added by city or county.
Title and registration
The calculator includes the $15 title fee and the known state passenger plate/issuance baseline. Local fees and ad valorem tax vary and remain estimated.
Worked example
A $30,000 vehicle with a $5,000 qualifying trade-in has a $25,000 state automotive-tax base before local tax.
