If that isn't the case then I have no idea where I got that then lol

Oooh, or in some places they don't have to pay personal property tax but instead pay higher gas taxes to make up for it? Maybe thats what I'm thinking of. I believe that is in the US though, some states you don't have to pay personal property but pay higher gas prices.
Well, I know we have to pay the 'bollo' on the car every year by the end of January. I am pretty sure that is the same as licensing. And we had to pay some type of fee, I can't remember what it is called, when we bought the car. Also every 2 years we have to have the car put under revision to ensure it meets the EU standards for emissions (changing of all filters etc) and drivablity. We also have something called 'bollino blu' which is a tag that you have to have on your car to say it was emissions tested and is within the standard. The 'bollino blu' is different the revision though. Without a 'bollino blu' on your vehicle you cannot drive within the city. And if caught doing so you will be fined and/or the car can be impounded.
