Bob, by NC law, an officially-designated antique vehicle can be valued at a
maximum of $500 for property tax purposes. To qualify, you have to fill out
a form that can be provided by your tax office. My tax office faxed me the
form, I faxed it back, and everything was done in a couple of days. The
property tax on my Healey went from $75 to $5.70. A copy of the form I
completed is attached for your info.
The state will also allow you to put a "year of manufacture" plate on the
car if you keep the official antique tag somewhere in the car to show the
authorities if they ask. I keep mine under the driver's seat, with a copy
of the NC statute about year of manufacture tags (just in case). So far in
three years, I've never been questioned.

Subject: [Healeys] Q for NC people only
It was mentioned that in NC the property tax on vehicles with antique
tags was minimal, maybe $50/yr. Got my tax notice last week and my car
is till being taxed as before. Is this maybe a county by county
arrangement or is it that maybe my tax office is not with the program.
Trying to find out before I call them.
Thanks,
Bob Johnson
