License Fee

redsled2007 · February 6, 2011

Just got my license renewal in the mail and couldn't believe what the California DMV is charging me to license my 2007 SD. $674. FOR A FOUR YEAR OLD TRUCK!!!!

Makes you wonder what a 2011 3500 SD HD runs. Guess moonbeam wants to balance the budget thru vehicle license fees.

How many years is that for? Is vehicle licencing in California related to gas mileage or pollution or something?

I am in Nova Scotia, Canada and we pay based on vehicle weight, cost me just over $200 for two years.

I thought NH was bad- I was wrong! Our registration is 2 parts- something based on MSRP/value that you pay to the town and a weight-based fee to the state. My $28k Subaru was like $600 for the first full year as a new vehicle.

If you're talking about license plates (tags in the south) then mine were $800 something last year. Luckily we have a farm number this year and I get the federal issued farm tag and it will be in the $200's.

A license sticker for your plate in Ontario costs around $78 per year. That's for passenger vechicles, including SUV/trucks with a registered GVWR under 4500kg.

Over that, the cost goes up. My truck is $135 per year, plus the yearly commercial inspection of $175.
