Refund of Registration Fees

Upon the transfer of ownership of a motor vehicle, a refund of the unused fees is available.  The refund is based on the number of months remaining in the registration period from the date of the transfer.

Please note:  The registered owner shall make a refund claim for the unused fees within sixty (60) days after the date of transfer.  If the owner fails to claim a refund within the sixty (60) day period, they forfeit their right to the refund.

To apply for a refund, the registered owner must do the following:

  •  
 Return the registration certificate
  •  
 Return the license plates (if plates are not available, you must purchase a lost set of plates for $14.50)
  •
