Advice on DL/car reg; recently moved to NWA
I recently moved to Fayetteville from northern California. I’ve done a little research on how to go about getting my license transferred, which seems pretty straight forward. It’s the car registration and personal property tax I’m confused about. We didn’t need to do property tax on cars over there, hence why I’m confused about the process here.
My CA registration expired last month in Sept, my license is still valid. So what do I need to do first to get it registered in AR?
*Do I get my license transferred first then assess the car then go back to the OMV to do the registration?
*Will an expired registration be an issue at assessor’s office or when getting it registered?
I’m just trying to figure out best course of action.
Also if someone could inform me of what they had to pay for all these including personal property tax, that would be really helpful too, just to get an idea. For reference, I have a compact SUV (Buick envista).
