FAQs

  1. Why do I pay a use tax on motor vehicles?

    A use tax is due at the time of registration because sales tax was not collected at the time of purchase. State Statues give counties the authority to collect motor vehicle use tax.

  2. How can I get a refund of Motor Vehicle use tax?

    All refunds of Motor Vehicle use tax have to go through the Larimer County Motor Vehicle department. Complete the refund form and submit all documentation that supports your claim. Lack of documentation can delay the process and your refund.
