NEW FEES NOW IN EFFECT: On September 1, 2009, certain fees for driver license and motor vehicle services changed. These new base fees were established by the Florida Legislature as part of the state’s budget development process.

For a complete listing of all new motorist services fees, including the amount of the previous fee and the date of the most recent fee change, see http://www.flhsmv.gov/MotoristFees.htm.

A combination of vehicle information is used to determine registration fees. They are the registration use, license plate type and class code. The class code is determined by the vehicle weight, body type, vehicle type and registration use. To see a sample, see http://www.flhsmv.gov/FeeSamples.htm.

For a list of frequently asked questions and answers regarding Florida's new fees, see http://www.flhsmv.gov/FAQs.htm.

Note: If you are suspended under both the PIP and the liability law, you will be charged both reinstatement fees.
