Welcome to the GCTO Special/Vehicle Inventory Tax online system!

This online portal allows you to file monthly and annual declarations (as well as make payments using a credit or debit card and electronic check) online and is designed to streamline the rendition and payment process, simplifying submission of your annual declaration. It will also provide you with a tool to track your activity. Online renditions are still considered confidential!

First time users may obtain a login and generic password (reset at initial login) by emailing galcotax@co.galveston.tx.us (enter SIT New User in the subject line). Please include your name, title, dealership name and TxDMV dealer number, address and telephone number. NOTE: Each dealer number will require separate log ins but a single email user address is adequate. We recommend all dealers set up multiple users.

If you experience difficulties or require assistance, call Michael at (409) 766-2467 or Erroll at (409) 766-2451. You may also email galcotax@co.galveston.tx.us and enter SIT Online Help in the subject line along with the nature of assistance needed (for example, assistance needed navigating the portal).

Additional Information

Special inventory is taxable in the county where purchased so vehicles later registered in another county must still report their sales to GCTO.

Leased vehicles are not special inventory unless they are sold (except to another dealer with a GDN) and then they must be reported.

Even trades must be reported (unless to another dealer with a GDN).

Failure to file a monthly rendition by the 10th of month for vehicles and 20th of the month for heavy equipment (even if you have no sales to report) will result in a $500 penalty!
