North Dakota motor vehicle excise tax
North Dakota imposes 5% motor vehicle excise tax on the taxable purchase amount after qualifying trade-in allowance and rebate or credit adjustments.
Title and registration
The calculator includes the $5 title fee and estimates 2026 passenger registration from the official weight and year-first-registered bands. The current annual road-use addition is $120 for an EV and $50 for a plug-in hybrid.
Worked example
A 4,000-pound recently first-registered passenger vehicle uses the $93 annual registration band before any EV/PHEV road-use addition.
