Yes. Car and/or motorcycle registration fees are considered personal property taxes.

Turbo Tax handles this in the section "Car Registration Fees"

In many states the "registration" fee itself is NOT deductible.   Only that portion of the fee that is a property tax  based on the vehicles value is deductible.   Not all states have a vehicle property tax.   Most states that do will list it separately on the registration bill.

In California, for example, the following is a list of the various fees that may be included in your annual vehicle registration payment:

   - Registration Fee
    -Vehicle License Fee (This is the fee that may be an income tax deduction)
    -Weight Fee
    -Special Plate Fee
    -County/District Fees
    -Owner Responsibility Fee
