Thanks, OP. My neighbors are not military, they moved from out of state last summer and still have out of state plates. They've even joked about how long they can go without transferring it over. I reported it.

Maryland doesn't have a yearly inspection requirement or a personal property tax so there's no incentive to avoid registering in MD. There are a lot of people who live in Northern Virginia with MD tagged cars, it's definitely a thing.

This. Is. No. Different.

Yes, there are people with actual exemptions. Leave those in charge to sort it out.

But there are a lot of people who justify stealing from the rest of us.




Agree with this. Tax evasion is very anti-social. It hurts all of us. Also the more people report otz the less normalized it will become. By reporting you can prevent people from ever trying it because it won't be worth the effort. That's the goal.


You guys are such losers. But you’re also quite stupid if you think your ad hoc neighborhood watch reporting network of uninformed dipdwads calling the county clerk’s office is going to have an impact on … what, exactly? Tax avoidance? Theft generally?

You’re just sad, bored, busybodies. Regular people think you are weird and avoid you. And I’m sure it’s not limited to this particular issue.

Maybe they don't own a car and are borrowing one. Maybe it's a rental because their car is in the shop. Maybe they only rent cars because owning one is too expensive.



I have neighbors with Maryland plates that have been parking on the street for nearly five years. I’m confident they aren’t borrowing or renting those cars.


When I lived in courthouse, the Arlington police were good about ticketing for this.

Because a huge number of those care are probably driven by illegal immigrants, OP. Out of state registered cars are often driven by illegal immigrants trying to skirt registration issues because they have no valid ID and no permanent address. They try to avoid identification from the state.

There’s nothing more satisfying than waking up, leaving the house, and seeing tickets plastered on a line of cars outside my house. The DC ticket ladies come out at 4am and just start nailing everyone with an OOS plate.

Love it when stupid people pay my taxes for me.


Do you report people with accents to ICE too?
