Safety inspection is just under $16 with tax.
Registration is based upon weight. Our Honda CR-V was about $80.
A full size, older Chevy Blazer was $118.
Add in about $30 or so for fees to transfer title, etc.
When you get here, you have to do these things in order.
You have 30 days in which you can drive on your old plates, without a safety sticker. Keep the paperwork that proves arrival date for the vehicle with you. If you are pulled over, you will get a ticket without it.
Get insurance card
Get safety inspection. You will fail the safety due to not having valid registration. Don't worry about it. It is how it works.
Take the failed safety inspection form to the tax office and get your registration transferred.
Then, go back to the place you got the safety inspection at and show them your new registration. They will pass you and put the sticker on the vehicle.
