With the expiration of my Virginia license plates looming on the horizon, I decided to make the necessary steps toward becoming an official resident of Tennessee.
Last year, my annual Virginia inspection and tag renewal cost around $400. First, there was the $35 inspection fee and the $10 emissions fee. Second, they lifted my car to check every nook and cranny and spouted some story about the suspensions (even though I’d just had my car in for a full tune-up) and the fix would cost a pretty penny. And then I still had to renew my tags. Needless to say, I wasn’t excited to fork over another small fortune to become a Tennessee resident.
Imagine my surprise at how easy the process was in comparison.
