What California lets a dealer charge in Rosamond
- Sales tax: set by your exact address, charged on the selling price where you register the car.
- Document fee: capped at $85 for most dealers under California Vehicle Code 4456.5. Anything above that is a red flag.
- Electronic filing fee: commonly about $33. It is optional for the dealer to charge but must be disclosed.
- California tire fee: $1.75 per new tire, set by the state.
- DMV registration, title and license fee: paid to the state and mostly based on the car's value. The dealer collects it and passes it on.
- Add-ons (nitrogen, paint protection, etched VINs, service plans) are never required. Under the CARS Act each one needs its own price and your written OK.
Fee amounts other than sales tax are typical state figures, not a quote. Check a real quote.
