New York DMV Raising Fees

Starting tomorrow, September 1, 2009, the New York Department of Motor Vehicles is raising basic fees as follows.  The state registration for passenger vehicles rises from $44 to $55.  The cost of a basic driver’s license or renewal (eight years) goes up 25% - from $50 to $62.50.

With its on-line renewal system, one might expect that these types of fees would actually decrease as the DMV becomes more efficient.  New York is one of the highest taxed states in the country and these fees are just another tax on the privilege of driving in the Empire State.
