The site is WRONG! Well, sorta.

I just got the registration application for my Plymouth returned for incorrect payment. I enclosed the $23 the form said was correct, but I downloaded the form on August 30, and mailed it the next day. The fee went to $53.75 as of September 1, 2009. It is an Historical registration with YOM plates.

The catch is that I live in Suffolk County. We are considered to be in the NYC metro area and must pay the MTA "grab your ankles" surcharge. I am 90 miles from NYC, not in the commuting zone and there are almost no MTA services here.

Look at the DMV website, ALL counties served by the MTA saw an increase on top of the 25% DMV increased fee. Counties that impose a use tax get you for an extra $20-50 depending on the county and weight of the vehicle.

For Vintage Plates:

Passenger Vehicles:
o If you already have a valid NYS registration for the vehicle in your name, the fee is $3.75 for the new document.
o If the vehicle is not currently registered in your name, the fee is $28.75.
NOTE: If you live in New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk, Orange, Putnam,
Dutchess, or Westchester county, the fee is $53.75 due to the addition of an annual $25 Metropolitan Commuter
Transportation District supplemental registration fee.
o If the vehicle is a 1973 or newer model year and does not already have a NYS title issued in your name, there is an
additional fee of $50 for the title.

For Historical Plates:
Passenger Vehicles:
· If you already have a valid NYS registration for the vehicle in your name, the fee is $18.75 ($15 plate fee
plus $3.75 transaction fee).
· If the vehicle is not currently registered in your name, the fee is $43.75.($28.75 registration fee plus $15 plate fee)
NOTE: If you live in New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk, Orange,
Putnam, Dutchess, or Westchester county, the fee is $68.75 due to the addition of an annual $25
Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District supplemental registration fee.
· If the vehicle is a 1973 or newer model and does not already have a NYS title issued in your name, there is
an additional title fee of $50.

Thank those you elected for the increased fees.

Our governor was not elected, and probably never will be.

I agree. But all the legislators who voted to approve it were. The fee increases were in the budget. The accidental governor asked for it, they gave it to him (and us).

I have the same idea with you. Great! Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear you're using this: I plan to keep it much more aggressively up-to-date than has been the case in the past, but don't hesitate to let me know if you find errors or need clarifications.
