The Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder’s Office wants Jefferson County residents to be aware of the higher vehicle registration fees beginning July 1, 2009, and fees for late registrations beginning June 1, 2009.
Senate Bill 09-108 was passed by the legislature and signed into law by the Governor on March 2, 2009, and will require additional surcharges for each vehicle to fund transportation needs across the state. The fees in this bill are based on the weight of the vehicle, rather than the age of your vehicle. This information can be found under the CWT section on your registration.
This legislation also requires a mandatory fee for late transactions. The fee will be $25/month for every month past the grace period on your vehicle, up to a maximum of $100. This will be in addition to the standard renewal fees. Please evaluate your vehicle licenses to determine which vehicle or trailer is not up-to-date and renew prior to June 1, 2009. In addition, vehicle owners may want to consider selling or disposing of vehicles that are infrequently used, no longer used, or often left with expired registrations.
