Starting Sept. 1, it’s going to cost a whole lot more to be a Florida driver.
Obtaining and renewing vehicle registrations, titles and driver’s licenses got more expensive after state lawmakers decided to hike the fees — to more than double in some cases.
The fee increases for renewing vehicle registrations vary by the weight of the vehicle. As of now, the owner of an average vehicle pays roughly $27.10 for an annual registration and $55.20 for a two-year registration. After Sept. 1, however, the cost for a single-year registration will increase to $45.65.
And the cost of renewing a driver’s license will increase from $20 to $48. That’s not counting the tax collector’s service fee for processing driver’s license transactions, which will increase by $1 to $6.25.
