This is not so unusual on this side of the pond. Here they
call it a "personal property tax" usually. Both Missouri
(where I've lived recently) and Virginia (where I presently
reside) have such taxes. In fairness, I should say that auto
license fees have been much lower than in states that don't
have such personal property taxes. In other words, as I see it
you either pay the fee with one check at the DMV, or with two
checks - one at the DMV and one at the county tax collector's
office...
