Sorry about your car/truck tag costs, however, almost every retirement guide list WY in the top three States to retire in due to low tax's and cost of living for seniors. Kiplinger's ranks WY as the friendliest State to retire in overall and the second best due to tax's. Alaska, due to oil revenue, is number one.

I wish they'd build more townhouses/condos in Cody. Why would you want to come to Wyoming and live in a dang condo? Where you gonna keep your horses, trailers, campers , 4-wheelers, 3 big dogs and so forth?  Forty plus years of homeownership is enough. I am ready to let someone else do all the work. Vehicle tags are the least of my concerns.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

Kiplinger's ranks WY as the friendliest State to retire in overall and the second best due to tax's. Alaska, due to oil revenue, is number one. These retirement surveys always crack me up. Our property tax in Alaska was quadruple what it is compared to TN on similarly valued property. And these surveys fail to mention the extreme cost of living, utilities, housing, and insurance. We left Alaska in 2013 so that was the last time we paid auto insurance up there. But in 2013 we paid almost triple of what we pay today in TN on similar, but newer model vehicles. Our monthly utility bill is 1/3rd of what it used to be, We loved calling Alaska home for over 35 years but cheap to live there it isn't.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

$75 here plus an annual vehicle inspection (no emissions, just working lights, tires in good shape, etc) for a whopping $7 fee.

I have often wondered why on these types of threads people still post how things are where they live.
And no clue were they live? What is the point?

Now that I'm a senior, a hunting & fishing license is $12 and an elk tag is $16. That alone is worth moving out of Commiefornia to Idaho.

Those of you thinking about moving to Wyoming might want to think again. Although we have no state income tax here, you get bent over the log for vehicle license plates. Today, I got new , 1 year, plates for my 2004 Ram 3500 with the Cummins engine. This is a 15 year old truck. $285.00!!  My 2003 Ford F150 cost me #185.00 and my 2004 Buick LeSabre was $ 225.00.  You might imagine what a nice new vehicle would cost you to register, AFTER you pay the 6% sales tax.  No, better you should move to Portland. Or maybe Montana , I hear it's real nice up there. Nice new veichles and old veichles cost the same in Pa. because they go by GVW.

WY is a bargain when you consider the full range of government taxes. Cherrying picking is not a valid measure of cost. I must say no income tax is a big positive factor. I wish they'd build more townhouses/condos in Cody. Stay where you're at, we're full up.

Kiplinger's ranks WY as the friendliest State to retire in overall and the second best due to tax's. Alaska, due to oil revenue, is number one. From 2017: _________________________ Kiplinger created one list. The factors used to determine the ranking of all 50 states include living expenses, health care costs, poverty rates, and the economic wellness of the state. According to Kiplinger’s list, South Dakota has ranked the top state for retirement. The cost of living is 4% below the national average, health care costs are below average, and it is one of the most fiscally sound states in the nation. The state of Hawaii is the second top state for retirees. Even though the cost of living is high above the national average, health care costs are very affordable. The beautiful beaches, high household income levels, and a healthy population all contribute to this state’s ranking on Kiplinger’s list. The state of Georgia is ranked number 3 in this poll. The cost of living in this state is 7% below the national average. The warm weather and being a tax-friendly state for retirees is why Georgia is ranked so favorably. The top 10 states in Kiplinger’s 2017 poll are: South Dakota Hawaii Georgia North Dakota Tennessee Alabama Virginia Florida New Hampshire Utah ____________

Oregon use to be cheap, but with our communist democRATs in Potlandia, they are always active on how to try to nickle and dime ya to death. with piddly fees...a lot of other places are a lot worse, yeah.... but government always loves the word TAXES...
they can't get enough of them...... but one thing is constant....there are still only 100 pennies in a dollar... and there isn't a government agency in this country, that doesn't think, more and more of those pennies belong to them, instead of you....from every dollar you make....
and for every penny we pay toward some sort of tax, the less and less we get for it in return....
it all goes to pay for more and more welfare 'benefits' for the financially and socially irresponsible citizens as a way for politicians to get more and more of those type to get folks out and "vote for me!!!".....

I sort of have started to go to South Dakota to spend one overnight and pick up my new driver’s license next month when my Missouri license expires. Missouri tags are a little cheaper but I will lose their damn income tax. Sioux Falls is not that far from Kansas City, but weather permitting, I will head on west to Rapid City/Box Elder and get all my remaining South Dakota stuff done at America’s Mailbox. Get registered to vote. Two of my favorite places are Custer State Park and Wind Cave Nat’l Park. Hang out there until the cold winds and winter weather pushes me south. Down to Utah and Arizona to see some old friends. Home to Missouri for Christmas with family. Works for me.
