Nebraska sets a base tax from the MSRP bracket, then multiplies it by a fraction that falls every year.
| Registration year | Motor vehicle tax | Motor vehicle fee |
|---|---|---|
| 1st through 5th | 1.00 down to 0.60 | 1.00 |
| 6th through 10th | 0.51 down to 0.15 | 0.70 |
| 11th and later | 0.15 down to 0.00 | 0.35 |
Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-3,187(2) and 60-3,190(3). The motor vehicle tax reaches zero in the fourteenth year. Vehicles with an MSRP under $20,000 pay a flat $5 fee with no age fraction.
Below $10,000 the brackets are $25, $35, $45 and $60. From $10,000 the base tax starts at $100 and rises by $40 for every $2,000 of MSRP, stopping at $1,900 for anything $100,000 and above.
A title branded as previous salvage reduces the motor vehicle tax by 25 percent. Small county and plate charges of a few dollars may also appear on your bill.
Renewal cycle: annual.
Nebraska registration runs for one year. A two- or three-year option has been authorized by statute but takes effect on a date the director sets no later than January 1, 2029, and even then the fees and taxes are charged for each year with no discount.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-392 — “At the time of registration renewal for a multiyear period, fees and taxes shall be paid for each year of the multiyear renewal”
