NYS DMV registration fee is getting up there...

[rh71]

My dad showed me his renewal notice just last week...
$37.50 (2yr reg fee) + $30.00 (2yr use tax). So that's an additional $30 from last year.

Then I get mine today...
$55.00 (2yr reg fee) + $30.00 (2yr use tax). W T F ?!

I just ate 3 large slices of pizza, but thanks.

 

Here in Michigan, plate fees are tied to the price of your car. I paid $130 for a 14-month registration for my Accord.

 

Is it really that high now?
$87?

Seriously - my parents pay almost $200 for a yearly registration for their Subaru. The Liberty is a bit less, and my Accord is even less than that. You should be happy you're only paying $87...I'd take that in a heartbeat!

Here in California, my pos one year registration is more than your two year fee.

Yea mine is much higher than the OPs... RH71 is that for the vehicle or just your license?

License fees are more reasonable here. I think I paid $25 or so when I was 16, and I don't have to renew 'till I'm 25.

If it wasn't for the fact that we in California are getting a substantial discount, my registration fee would be $400. That's for an older car.

I was shocked at the 2x increase, not the total price, although it's a shock in itself. The registration is for the vehicle ... registered with the DMV. The drivers license renewal was like $45 for 8 years IIRC.

In New York State, registration is tied to the weight of your vehicle. You must have a bigger/heavier car than your father's.
My 1982 Chevy Caprice reg. was about $90 for two years in 1993. My 2003 Focus cost me about $45 for two years a few months ago, so the prices aren't really going up by much.
