"California's Online Calculator Determines New License Fee Due on Vehicle Registration Renewals"

In an effort to help California motorists find out how the increased Vehicle License Fee (VLF) will affect the registration renewal for their vehicles, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will modify the online fee calculator to reflect the increase which will take effect on May 19, 2009. All vehicles with a registration renewal date of May 19, and thereafter, will be affected by the increase from 0.65 to 1.15 percent of the value of the vehicle. The calculator will be modified to reflect the change 60 days prior to the increase. The DMV will also mail registration renewal forms to customers approximately 60 days in advance of the renewal date. The online fee calculator increases customer convenience and saves time, making it a popular feature available at http://www.dmv.ca.gov/. It allows customers to compute not only the new VLF, but all other fees due for vehicle registration renewals and used vehicle purchases, as well as fees due on new and out-of-state vehicle registrations. Vehicle owners need only to provide the license plate and vehicle identification numbers, county of registration and zip code. The calculator will then display the amount of fees due to DMV, along with any penalties, transfer costs and use tax, if applicable.
