My question involves vehicle registration / title in the state of: California and Arizona
My Wife and I are residents of CA. We also own a vacation residence in Arizona. In Arizona, we have a truck that is there 99.9% of the time. Because of this, I registered the truck in AZ. We needed the truck to move some furniture from CA to AZ, so upon our last trip to AZ, I drove the truck to our residence in CA. While in CA for a short period of time, I was pulled over by a CA Highway Patrol because no front license plate. AZ does not require two plates. The officer told me that if I am a resident in CA and have a CA drivers license, I must register all vehicles in CA. I did not know this and the MVD in AZ did not tell me this when I changed the registration on the vehicle from CA to AZ. Like I mentioned, the truck is in AZ 99.9% of the time. So, as I understand, this is fact. Because I am a resident of CA, my vehicle must be registered in CA.
I have no intention of registering the truck back in CA. It's very rarely here in this state and CA is a huge rip-off. My question is this: My Dad lives in AZ and is a resident. If I add him on to the title as a co-owner, use him at Owner #1 and put me as Owner #2 using the "or" for Joint Tendency and state the car stays in AZ at his residence, will this offset the CA law? If I need to bring the truck to CA temporarily and for some reason get pulled over again, would this suffice as a loophole so I don't have to deal with this situation again?
Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.
