Quick in and out for title renewal

Worst experience I have had in a decade. Go in with a cheerful attitude fully prepared to register an out of state vehicle I just purchased for $10,025 and was forced to pay taxes based on the NADA average retail value of $19,813. I have no idea how they arrived at that figure and can't duplicate it. They said their computer automatically populates the tax due by pulling the average value of that model vehicle directly from the NADA,com website. No one asked me what the condition of the vehicle, the trim level or if it even functioned. It passed their "inspection" where the sherrif verified the VIN and looked at the mileage. I repeatedly and politely pushed back and asked for details and refused to accept the seemingly random and unreproducible tax they demanded I pay to register the used vehicle. I was shouted at by the "supervisor" behind the glass that I was being abusive to her (????). Nope, I was just persistent and calmly repeated that the tax I was being charged made no sense and repeatedly asked to be shown the law they are following. The vehicle was purchased from an insurance auction, and the seller, Progressive Insurance, had printed the purchase price on the notarized out of state title. But this was not acceptable. As a 25+ year Kentucky resident, law-abiding retiree I cannot believe what a gauntlet of aggravation this morning was. Hopefully someone will replace those people with computer terminals very soon. They are emotionally unstable and wildly incompetent.

Every time I’m there I get the wrong information. I just moved to Kentucky and I got the rudest responses when I don’t know the process after asking for more detail. The amount of times I had to pay for another add on because they didn’t inform me about my tags or a new process. Covington was more helpful. It’s upsetting to move and they assume u know the process when it very different from other states.

It's such a Shame that ever year I have to deal with such rude disrespectful staff. And it's solely the older women that work here. Anybody who knows me would vouch for my politeness. They need to do something about this ASAP. Probably the worst part about independence.

Yes you can. If it is from out of state, stop by the Sheriff's Office in the front for a vehicle inspection first, take about 4-5 minutes and cost $5. If it is an in state transfer, just go to the back to the auto dept and they will get you taken care of.
