Registration Renewal Fees in Minnesota

Renewing your registration will require you to pay a few types of fees: your vehicle registration fee, a late fee (if applicable), vehicle property tax, additional fees and, if you choose to renew through our site, our agency fee. The fees are broken down as follows:

Vehicle Registration Fee:

  • The state fee to renew a passenger vehicle is $7.
  • There is an extra $10 fee for motorcycles and $6 fee for mopeds.

Vehicle Tax:

  • This is the main portion of your renewal fee as you will be taxed based upon the "base" value of your vehicle. The amount will range based upon your vehicle's original MSRP and the age of the vehicle. Your taxes may be as low as $35.00 or up to $500.00 or more.

Additional Fees:

  • In certain counties, a Wheelage Tax of $10 to $20 will be added to your registration renewal. A technology surcharge of $2.25 will also be assessed.

Third Party Agency Fee:

  • This site charges an agency fee starting at $12.00 to process your online transaction with the state on your behalf. This fee is not required and will not be assessed if you choose to renew your vehicle through the official state portal. There are valuable benefits associated with this fee, including One-Click Renewal, quick status checks, error-free processing, DVS advocates and much more. We also guarantee your satisfaction, so if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Summary:

  • On the checkout page for your renewal, you will see the above listed fees detailed according to your vehicle specifications. The total cost to you will be clearly itemized for you prior to payment.
  • Please note that the fees that you will see associated with your vehicle on this website may be an estimate based upon the information you have provided to us (car type, vehicle location, etc.) and the final amount charged to your card may vary slightly when we process your transaction with the state.
