| Weight Range | Annual Fee |
|---|---|
| Up to 2,499 lbs | $14.50 |
| 2,500 – 3,499 lbs | $22.50 |
| 3,500+ lbs | $32.50 |
Trucks
| Weight Range | Annual Fee |

| Up to 1,999 lbs | $14.50 |
| 2,000 – 3,000 lbs | $22.50 |
| 3,001 – 5,000 lbs | $32.50 |

Typical Renewal Costs
Annual renewal fees are much lower than first-time registration because they do not include the one-time $225 initial registration fee or title costs.
Most standard passenger vehicles (around 3,500+ lbs) pay about $46 per year for renewal, which is the weight fee plus a small service fee.
Simplified Cost Formula
The logic behind the tool you shared can be summarized like this:
- Current Year Registration Cost
= Weight Fee + Service Fee + Registration Fees
(Registration Fees include: initial registration fee if applicable + title fee + plate fee + mailing) - Yearly Renewal Cost
= Weight Fee + Service Fee - Three-Year Total Contribution (used for the distribution chart)
= Current Year Cost + Renewal Cost (Year 2) + Renewal Cost (Year 3)
Service fees vary by vehicle type and weight, generally in the range of about $12 to $22.
