Municipal wheel taxes can be levied only on city residents due to a bill approved by the Legislature March 9.<\/p>\n
LB81, introduced by Bellevue Sen. Abbie Cornett, prohibits all cities from levying a motor vehicle fee on nonresidents. The bill phases out a new Omaha ordinance requiring nonresidents who commute to Omaha to pay a $50 fee, collected by their employer.<\/p>\n
Nonresidents include those who use or store a vehicle no more than six months in a city or village and those who do not have a primary residence or own a place of business within city limits. Full-time college students attending school in a city other than the one in which their vehicle is registered also are considered nonresidents.<\/p>\n
The bill phases out motor vehicle taxes for those living in an extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction of a city or village on Jan. 1, 2013.<\/p>\n
