KY is hardcore on vehicles from out of state. VIN inspection on car, must match title. Special paper must be signed by seller and notarized. If not, you pay sales tax on highest book value that can be found for that model! Even if title from other state doesn’t require notary, the KY form does.

I just had an ordeal on my truck this year. Had a transposed number. A b and a d were back to back and flipped on the title. Sherrif threw a fit and it took days to find somebody who knew what arcane form was needed to fix it. I had to call the state capitol, multiple trips places, inspection fee. Lots of “we can’t do that” nonsense. Just insane level of bs that should’ve been handled on the spot, but wasn’t.

Oh and in 4 years they are likely going to make me bring it in to see if I fixed it up and add a raise to my assessed value. Heard some guys are getting popped with that. Might depend on which of the 120 counties you are in...
