** Information on the excise tax for DC titles can be found at DC Official Code § 50-2201.03. Many vehicles are exempt from DC excise tax. Click here to review our excise tax exemption chart. Rates are applied to the fair market value of the vehicle at the time of application.
Note: Fair Market Value for calculating excise tax on used cars is based on the value indicated in the current National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Business Guide for the Eastern Region (reference 18 DCMR §401.16). If the NADA guide does not provide the fair market value for a particular vehicle, applicable bill of sale shall be used.
