What Does Your License/Registration Fee Go For?..

[HillbillyTom]

Listed on my receipt.. "Registration Fee.. $17.00", general tax stuff I figure. "Agent Fee.. $7.00", the outright politicians cut. Then there's the "Railroad Crossing Fee.. .50". Railroad crossing fee? Lol, there's one to think about. All together $24.50 for a 2 year plate.
What are all your license fees going for? Any head scratchers like the RR crossing fee on mine?

Mine is like 80 bucks for one year. Tags are the only thing I miss about Missouri.

$47.50/year, $10 of which entitles me to a speciality plate that supports the ABATE foundation.
Filing fee, taxes and blah blah blah...

But do they break it down as to what your $$ is going toward. That's more what I'm looking for rather than just total amount.

And $1100 for registration is insane.

California 1 year - Mine is due in May:

Registration fee: $71
License fee: $25
Weight fee: $0
Special Plate fee: $0
County/District fee: $10
Owner Responsibility fee: $0

Total: $106


Owner Responsibility fee?! I guess if you're not responsible enough to keep your weight down (Weight fee) then you get charged an additional fee for your lack of responsibility...

NY 17.50 added charges including "MYBUSA" plate 61.50

I assume this is the same as road tax which we pay in the UK.

If it is mine cost $116 a year.

[prayer warrior]

just pay mine $85.00 a year cheaper then my bicycle.

 

[bigron]

Not that it matters to you folks in the states but our registration fee is 6% the value of the bike. And the value of the bike is 27,000 US $. So roughly 1600 US $. The only saving grace , registration is for the lifetime of the vehicle. Plus you have other expenses like , handling charges , pollution test fee , special number fee etc.

Do you get a discount if you promise not to cross any railroads? Maybe its 4 times the amount if the same county owns all for RR's? Can't be a good ride on the reading RR after passing go
