Bill Would Spur Vehicle Tax Payments

RALEIGH — Members of the House Finance Committee met last week to approve a bill that, if ratified, would collect nearly $80 million in unpaid vehicle taxes. Presently, vehicle owners pay for the registration and property tax of their car to separate agencies at different times. This new bill seeks to combine these fees in to one payment. According to Forsyth County Republican Rep. Dale Folwell, a primary sponsor of the bill, this will make the process far more efficient.
