2290 Highway Use Tax

The 2290 highway use tax is calculated based on the taxable gross weight of the vehicle. The tax rate increases as the weight increases, starting at $100 for vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds and capping at $550 for vehicles weighing 75,000 pounds or more. The full tax applies to vehicles used in July, while vehicles first used in later months are taxed proportionally based on the number of months remaining in the tax year.
