The renewal notice includes separate contact information for registration questions and for tax questions. The new annual renewal notice combines the information about your vehicle registration renewal fee and the vehicle property tax due. Only one payment – made either in person, online or by mail – is required to pay both the annual tag and tax for your vehicle (Inspection fees are still paid to the inspection station). Vehicle owners will receive this renewal notice about 60 days prior to their vehicle’s registration expiration.īeginning in 2013, your annual vehicle inspection, registration renewal and vehicle property tax will be due the same month each year.
