The State of Florida will increase vehicle registration fees Sept. 1,
but residents whose birthdays are before Dec. 1 can beat the rate
increase by renewing early.
Residents whose birthdays are:
● on or before Aug. 31 can renew at the current rate by Aug. 31;
● in September can renew early at the current rate by Aug. 31;
● in October can renew early at the current rate between July 1
and Aug. 31; or
● in November can renew early at the current rate between Aug. 1
and 31.
Residents can save additional money by renewing for two years.
Under the new fee schedule, established by the Florida Legislature,
automobile registration renewals will increase by $18 to $25 depending
on the vehicle's type and weight. A complete list of fee increases is
available at the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
web site, www.flhsmv.gov/NewFees.htm. This is the first increase of some
of the more common fees since the 1980s.
Vehicle registration renewal can be done online at www.GoRenew.com or
in person at any county or private tag office in Volusia County. The
county's Tag and Title offices are open from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday at the Thomas C. Kelly Administration Center, 123 W.
Indiana Ave., DeLand; Daytona Beach Administration Center, 250 N. Beach
St., Daytona Beach; Orange City Administration Center, 2744 Enterprise
Road, Orange City; and New Smyrna Beach Finance Department, 111 Canal
St., New Smyrna Beach. Private tag offices are at 1100 Beville Road,
Daytona Beach; and 2772-A Elkcam Blvd., Deltona.
Driver license renewals and title fees also will increase Sept. 1.
