How is the annual fee for full-use dealer plates determined?

The annual fee for full-use dealer plates is determined based on specific ownership taxes paid on average. This reflects the costs associated with vehicle ownership, which include taxes that are generally linked to the vehicle’s value and are assessed annually. By tying the dealer plate fee to ownership taxes, it ensures that the charge is proportional to the financial responsibilities related to vehicle ownership in the state. This method fosters a fair system, as it aligns with the regulatory framework surrounding vehicle taxation and ownership costs.
