The amount of taxes due depends on the price you paid for the car.
As far as the paperwork, you need to (1) get the title from the seller
with the odometer reading filled in on the back of the title, have the
seller sign the back and have it notarized, (2) take the title to the
tax assessor/collector's office for the county you live in with the amount
of taxes and fees due (get this info by calling the office ahead of time).

I don't know.
