Late fees are $25 per month, with the total amount not exceeding $100 (four months). Renewal of your registration is due in the month of expiration. A grace period of one month after the expiration is allowed. This grace period does not apply to temporary permits. A late fee will apply registration renewals after the one-month grace period. The late fee is $25.00 per month, with the total amount not exceeding $100 (four months).
