CA reg plans - TOP now, waiting for 2007 SB100

[dlang14]

Thanks for the reply John,

This is one of my main frustrations with the CA process. It changes dramatically. From my research (and I pray I havent screwed this up) the process you decribed WAS the way things were. If I have done my homework most of that is no longer accurate. The SB100 is now only looked at once you visit the BAR. Before that step no one seems to care which method you are using to get through SMOG.

I do have another somewhat urgent questoin. I'm supposed to go to the DMV later today. On the Statement of Construction form it asks.

Engine Year Model:

Is this the year of the block? Does anyone know exactly what goes in this field? Help please. I called the DMV helpline and they are....well less than helpful.

Well I went to the DMV and got my TOP

Here is my new concern. The DMV didnt charge me tax I asked the lady if I was supposed to pay tax now, or after the registration was 100% complete and she said she didnt think I had to pay tax beyond whatever I had paid for the parts.

I told her I hadnt paid tax on any parts as they were all out of state. She asked the other DMV worker at the counter who also said that I should not pay attitional tax.

I didnt want to be argue with them, since I need them to be helping me, but I was pretty sure that I do in fact have to pay taxes. Anyone have suggestions how to fix this?

I plan on going back to the DMV several times (TOP extension, VIN number in the computer, etc, etc) and I'll just keep asking unless someone can tell me how to fix this. Or for that matter do I need to fix it? I'm pretty sure I do. The last thing I want is some beurocrat pulling my registration because the DMV worker didnt know to tax me.
