Do I have to pay taxes on a vehicle that is not working?

Yes, North Carolina Statutes require that all vehicles be taxed as either a registered motor vehicle or personal property (unregistered vehicle).   Regardless of the condition or function of the vehicle it must be taxed.  The tax value could be adjusted for the condition, but it must be taxed.
