Massachusetts dealership uses Nebraska DMV to get 3,000 car titles because they’re cheaper!

NE DMV logoLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A low car titling fee likely prompted an out-of-state dealership to turn to the DMV in Nebraska for such certificates.  A Lancaster County Treasurer’s Office employee says LaBelle Chevrolet of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, has requested and received nearly 3,000 car titlessince February.

The Nebraska DMV charges just $10 per title, while Massachusetts charges $75.

Nebraska allows out-of-state companies to get newly purchased vehicles inspected outside of Nebraska and then have those inspection documents sent to DMV offices in Nebraska for titling.

The county doesn’t get to collect sales tax on the LaBelle vehicles it titles since they aren’t purchased or sold in Nebraska.
