If you owe property tax and the state is not allowing you to register your car unless it is paid if you move to another state can you register the car there?

I wouldn't think NC will worry about CT taxes as long as NC gets their taxes. Call the NC DMV and ask what is required for registration. GeneralStatutes � 20-4.4. Authority for reciprocity agreements; provisions; reciprocity standards.

(b) When the Commissioner enters into a reciprocal registration agreement or arrangement with another jurisdiction which has a motor vehicle tax, license or fee which is not subject to waiver by a reciprocity agreement, the Commissioner is empowered and authorized to provide as a condition of the agreement or arrangement that owners of vehicles licensed in such other jurisdiction shall pay some equalizing tax or fee to the Division. The failure of any owner or operator of a vehicle to pay the taxes or fees provided in the agreement or arrangement shall prohibit them from receiving any benefits therefrom and they shall be required to register their vehicles and pay taxes as if there was no agreement or arrangement. (1961, c. 642, s. 1; 1971, c. 588; 1975, c. 716, s. 5.)
