AB 867

This bill authorizes a city, village, or town (municipality) or county to impose

a motor vehicle registration fee that is a flat fee or that is a variable fee based on any

of several enumerated factors.

Under current law, any municipality or county may, by ordinance, impose an

annual motor vehicle registration fee on most automobiles and light-duty trucks

customarily kept in the municipality or county. The Department of Transportation

collects this local registration fee, which is in addition to the state registration fee,

at the time DOT collects the state registration fee and remits the local registration

fee, minus administrative costs of collection, to the applicable municipality or county.

The local registration fee may only be used by a municipality or county for

transportation purposes.

Currently, a local motor vehicle registration fee must be a flat fee. Under this

bill, the fee may be a flat fee or may be based on the vehicle's value, weight, or number

of axles or the owner's income.
