I think it's 6.25% of the price you paid for the car, plus a few small 
fees. 
 
Be sure it's the blue title (not a red one). Also, it is no longer 
necessary to get anything notarized (it was the affidavit for the tax-collector's
purposes that used to get notarized, not the title, right?). Just get the
affidavit from a bank somewhere (a white form) and get it all filled out. Then
take that and the title to a tax collector's office and prepare to stand in line 
a little bit. They don't take checks, incidentally.
