Commercial registration fees are based on the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) that the vehicle will be registered for.
To use the chart below:

• Determine the maximum gross weight of the vehicle.
• Find the corresponding weight range in the first column and read across to determine the registration fee.
• The fee in the column labeled “annual fee” is the amount charged for a new registration.

These fees are in addition to any other applicable fees such as title, plate fee, sales tax, etc.

Note: If the GVWR falls between two figures go to the next higher weight for the correct fee. Example: If the gross weight of the vehicle is 4957 pounds, the fee for 5000 pounds is charged.
The column labeled “equity” is the amount of credit that is allowed when a registration is being transferred to another vehicle. Determine how many months are remaining on the registration, and then use the appropriate equity column.
