HB2252 Summary

• Establishes a special thirty day nonresident registration permit for motor vehicle purchases, allowing nonresidents to obtain permits directly from dealers instead of only through the department.

• Limits dealers to issuing no more than 500 special thirty day permits in fiscal year 2023-2024, with a 10% annual increase thereafter.

• Exempts motor vehicle sales to nonresidents who obtain a special thirty day nonresident registration permit from state transaction privilege tax and county excise taxes.

• Allows cities and towns to levy transaction privilege tax on motor vehicle sales to nonresidents who secured special thirty day permits, notwithstanding the state exemption.

• Makes dealers liable for recording permit issuances electronically and maintaining records; purchasers remain liable for taxes and penalties if vehicles are registered in Arizona within 365 days of permit issuance.
