In many locations the taxes on vehicles come in the form of a separate excise tax on 'value' given to the vehicle based on its original value and age, this tax is administered at the City level where I live in Massachusetts. Are there locations in the US where the general property tax is applied itself to vehicles? Or were you simply stating that things other than land and buildings could be taxed, and not that the property tax applies to them?
