California Registration Fees Increased

Just to make everybody aware that's taking delivery soon...

I already had a cashier's check drawn for pickup on Sunday. But now I see on the app that the "Registration Amount" increased by $12.

I called my local SC and they said that it's happening with everybody (in California).

I didn't want to use Plaid to pay on the app, which is why I got the cashier's check.

The SC doesn't take cash or a personal check. Now I have to go to the bank to get a second cashier's check for $12. :(

That's what I get for getting ahead of the game and not waiting until the last minute to get the check. Haha.
 
is the registration fee $750 per year?

Not so simple.

Registration fees are based on:
  • Your vehicle type (auto, motorcycle, etc.).
  • Your vehicle’s purchase price or declared value.
  • Dates (for example, the date you purchased your vehicle, or the date your vehicle entered California).
  • The city and/or county you live in.
  • The city and/or county your business is based in.
  • The unladen or declared gross vehicle weight (GVW) and the number of axles your vehicle may have.
  • Any special license plates your vehicle may have.
  • Whether you have any unpaid parking violations or toll evasion bail.

I would imagine the majority use case will be straightforward. It should be easy to get to an approximate number for a given state.
