Sales tax is determined by a value set by the state for used cars from individuals. It makes no difference if you have a Bill of Sale for $1 on a car or whatever it sold for, they look up it's "value" and use that value (a lot less than actual or NADA) to compute the tax ?
This tax is exempt from purchases or transfers to or from family. I don't know the extended family details for this. Even a free transfer is taxed at this "value", so if I gave you my new Suburban, you would have to pay tax on the "value" unless you are family.

If you purchased the car from a dealer, the dealer is REQUIRED by state law to collect the sales tax amount. If you purchased from an individual, the only you have to pay your sales tax is to pay it at the title office, which is most cases, is separate from the BMV. Hope this helps!!
