Washington State Stuck It To The RV'ers!
« on: May 13, 2019, 08:14:14 AM »
I renew all my tabs online. Went to renew my Lance camper last night and noticed a price increase. Looked at the break down, and see a $6 fee for "Abandoned RV Disposal". So now all the RV owners in Washington get to pay for getting the derelict and abandoned RV's  in Seattle, and elsewhere. Isn't that just special. Went into effect on May 1st. This is for all RV's. Campers, trailers, and motor homes.
If you think about how many RV's are licensed in this State, at $6.00 each, that comes out to one heck of a pile of money! How long before that money starts getting slid over into the General Fund?

You mean like they just did for the Discover Pass funds? 

Outright theft.

Yeah, boaters have been paying this for as long as I have been registering a boat.  On the flip side, it does seem to get spent getting abandoned boats out of the way.  I actually don't mind those fees as much, it's the blatant grabs like weight charges, bogus fees, license plate technology and the other stuff that doesn't get spent on making the roads better.

As long as voters keep electing "Demoncrats" expect the trend to continue and get worse!

Get used to being "stuck" time and time again!! :o

So, if an RV gets to the point it is useless and taking up room. It should just drop it off on the corner and call the state to pick it up  :yike:
tell them you already paid it forward  :bash:

We had a real beauty drooped off in our neighborhood Saturday midday. Can’t believe they towed it far since it was falling apart and full of trash.

Was it just a Seattle ammo tax, or whole state tax, that however many cents per cartridge went towards inner-city gun shot victim medical expense's?

This state loves getting hardworking, law abiding citizens to pay for the derelict actions of a few. I just don't get it...

It's not only this state. They know where the money is and they know nothing will be done about it but a little complaining. What is the risk to the people who make these tax decisions?  NOTHING!

I have one up the road from me abandoned and two below me that are occupied. I wish they were all gone.. They make the hood look trashy. The owners should pay and make it hurt!

They can and do, but it becomes problematic when it is a case of 2 or 3 owners down the road on a rig that was sold with "No title, but can give you a bill of sale..." or worse yet, just sold for cash and nothing in the way of paperwork.

That is why it is so important when you are the owner of record to complete the Report of Sale or better yet, transfer title at time of sale.

Seen it go both ways, owners of record saved because the report of sale was filed and others screwed because they failed to file the report.
It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

This burden falls on the tax payer, regardless of how it's collected, but it should be the responsibility of the jurisdiction to pay for removal.
Those living in areas that don't tolerate this type of behavior shouldn't have to subsidize for those who do.

Getting rid of an abandoned car is a PIA, a motor-home is horrible!

aogmitch - I came to a realization last night when I looked at my camper registration.  Why do I pay to register my camper!?!?!  DMV has nothing to do with the camper.  I pay plenty extra to license a one ton truck with DMV.  I get paying extra because it's a bigger truck and can potential continually haul around more weight.  Register a travel trailer - yes you are putting more wheels and weight on the road.  I'm already paying for my wheels and weight on the road.

Sorry I had to get a soap box somehow.  I won't even get  into the extra fee!  Think I'll just join the crowd that doesn't register it and dump on the side of I5 when I'm done so the rest of you can pay to have it hauled off  :sry:
