Personal property tax is high on automobiles, campers and boats. You may license your purchased vehicle as a nonresident for a standard fee. However, if you choose to lease a car rather than buy, it will be considered a Nebraska-resident vehicle and subject to tax. You must have liability insurance on your vehicles and must carry a proof-of-insurance card and your registration in the car at all times. Please contact your insurance agent for specific rates.
Non-resident military are exempt from state income tax.
