Todd Esque: My name is Todd Esque and I'm a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. I was on a field expedition down in Mexico over in Baja and one evening at the end of the field day I had the great opportunity to capture on my cell phone I captured video of a tarantula hawk wasp finding a place to hide its prey.
Calculating Your Tax Amount. Local car tax bills are a function of the tax rate times each $100 of assessed value. In other words, take the value of the car as assessed by DTA, divide by 100, and multiply the result by the tax rate (which is $4.57 for most vehicles). For personal use vehicles, a substantial part of this bill is then subsidized by the stateâs Car Tax Relief program.
The estimated cost to register and title a vehicle for the first time is $420.00, plus any sales tax due. The state of Florida imposes 6% sales tax on the full purchase price less trade-in. Pinellas County residents pay an additional 1% on the first $5,000. All applications for title must be signed with the applicantâs full name. All transfers of ownership must be completed within 30 days of the sale date on the title.
