About Us: California DMV Out of State Car Tax Exemption

Our Journey and Mission

California DMV Out of State Car Tax Exemption was born in 2017 from a simple yet profound realization: there was a significant lack of clear, accessible information for individuals navigating the complex process of claiming car tax exemptions when moving to California. This gap in knowledge often led to unnecessary stress, confusion, and even financial burden on new residents.

Our founding year, 2017, marked the beginning of our mission to become the go-to resource for all things related to out-of-state car tax exemptions within the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). We aimed to demystify this process and empower individuals with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.

Over the years, we’ve achieved several key milestones:

  1. Comprehensive Guide Creation: We developed an extensive online guide that covers every aspect of the car tax exemption process, from eligibility criteria to step-by-step instructions for filing.

  2. User Engagement: Our website has become a popular destination for California residents and out-of-state newcomers seeking guidance on this topic, as evidenced by our growing monthly visitor count.

  3. Partnerships: We’ve formed strategic alliances with local DMV offices to ensure our information remains up-to-date and accurate, enhancing our credibility.
