Maryland motor vehicle registration fees increasing July 1
WASHINGTON - The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration is increasing vehicle registration rates beginning July 1.
The new rates are a result of legislation passed earlier this year.
"As directed by state law, the MVA is required to adjust vehicle registration fees that will help provide critical revenue for the Transportation Trust Fund, which ensures all of the state's infrastructure is in a state of good repair," said Motor Vehicle Administrator Chrissy Nizer in a statement posted online. "In order to make these new fees as affordable as possible, the MVA is now offering customers the convenient option to choose either a one or two-year registration at time of their renewal."
The new base rate for registration fees is based on vehicle class and weight. The MVA says they have not changed their rates since 2004.
Vehicle registrations that expire on or after July 1, 2024 will pay the adjusted rates. Customers that are currently eligible for renewal, or have vehicle registrations that expire through the end of June 2024, will continue to pay current vehicle registration rates.
The FULL LIST of adjusted vehicle registration rates are available online under the ‘Vehicle Registration / Tag Fees - starting July 1, 2024’ tab.
