A motor vehicle purchased in Texas for use exclusively outside Texas is exempt from motor vehicle sales tax. To claim the exemption, a purchaser must not use the motor vehicle in Texas, except for transportation directly out of state, and must not register the motor vehicle in Texas.

Motor vehicles are generally subject to an annual registration tax. Leased vehicles for personal use are exempt, but may be subject to municipal property taxes at local option. Vehicles used to produce income are taxable except that one vehicle used jointly for business and personal use is exempt.

Leased Vehicles A lease occurs when the owner offers exclusive use of a motor vehicle to another for a fee under a single contract for more than 180 days. Lease payments are not taxed in Texas. The lessor pays 6.25 percent motor vehicle sales tax when the vehicle is purchased and titled in Texas.

The sales tax for cars in Texas is 6.25% of the final sales price. The Texas Comptroller states that payment of motor vehicle sales taxes has to be sent to the local county's tax assessor-collector's office by sending a signed copy of the Application for Texas Title and/or Registration form (Form 130-U).

Texas has no state property tax. All property is appraised at full market value, and taxes are assessed by local county assessors on 100% of appraised value. The total tax rate is the sum of the rates of all applicable taxing units including cities, counties, schools, and special districts.

You can use Texas Comptroller Form 50-114 to apply for the General Homestead Exemption. If you turn 65 or become newly disabled, you need to submit new application to obtain the extra exemption. These exemptions use the same Form 50-114 along with Supplemental Affidavit Form 50-144-A.

Sales: 6.25 percent of sales price, minus any trade-in allowance.
