TAHLEQUAH â The Cherokee Nationâs Motor Vehicle tags year-to-date sales has increased by 14 percent compared to March 2020, according to the tax commission administrator.
The tribe offers car tag renewals online, which helped during the pandemic, and also with job reopenings that may have spurred the increase said Cherokee Nation Tax Commission Administrator Sharon Swepston.
The increase means more money for public schools, road improvements and law enforcement since 38 percent of gross car tag revenue goes to the public schools, 20 percent of gross car tag revenue goes to roads and bridges, and 20 percent to law enforcement within the Cherokee Nationâs Reservation.
