Canada asked: Returned my Motor Vehicle plates to the DMV and Report to Town Tax Collector?
I bought a 1996 truck (dodge) for my son in 2002 and was registered under my name. This year my son bought a new truck and I let him trade it in on the new one. Now the new truck is under my son name with new registrations. I returned the old plates to the DMV and they provided me with a STAMP document that the old registration plates were return to them. Also, it indicated that I should notify my town tax accessor to inform them that I no longer own the 1996 Dodge. So, I went to the town building with my DMV document and they will not accept that. They want to know where the truck is; Am I oblige by law to show them the trade in papers and let them know of my private affairs.
I thought that if you either get a new registration or retrun old plates the DMV notifies the town you live in. Please advice.
Thanks!

Im confused as to why you need to notify them of anything. do you pay property taxes on your vehicles??

If the car was traded to a dealership, they should handled all of that for you. That is what the “Documentation Fee” they usually charge is supposed to cover. Based on what you said, it looks like showing the paperwork to the town is the only way to stop paying property tax on the car.
