All Ohio riders, NEW-LATE TAG FEE BEWARE
 

Went down to the license bureau/DMV to renew the tags for one of my bikes there is a new $20 fee for late (over 7 days) plate renews. THE FEE DOES NOT APPLY TO BIKES or boat trailers. The women at the counter didn't even know this, she had to check. I had picked up tags last week for different bike, the was told about the exceptions. Who knows how many motorcyclist were charged a fee they didn't owe. (The tags I got today I had let expire, but wanted to take the bike out today- didn't pay a late fee!).

Anything for a $BUCK$!

Do it on time then.

Here is VA, they now charge you extra for doing ANYTHING in person...glad I can do all my renewals over the internet.

Thanks for the info. I have 4 vehicles and I'm always late with the renewals. Guess I'll be on time this year!

so this doesn't apply to motorcycles or trailers?

Funny how the state hasn't mentioned that part to us :rolleyes:
doesn't surprise me any

I dont like to pay interest or late penalties,, so I pay in advance......or before due dates..

I was just reading on the hometown newspapers web site that that same $20.00 fee applies to an expired drivers liscense over 6 days too. (Ohio is money hungry) In South Carolina we get a tax statment in the mail when our plates are due. Here we have to pay a property tax on vehicles. (South Carolina is money hungry too) Then they send them in the mail. Drivers licenses are good for 10 years. Dont know if they will send a notice on that or not. Just changed mine over in '07

Just one thing to remember You can't fight ShittyHall!

Yeah, I just got hit with that $20. Was working out of state and the job took longer than planned. Nine days late = $20. Bastids.
