Fees and Payment Types

July 01, 2025 Upcoming Change to Vehicle Recording Fees

As a reminder, the passage of HB 24-1269 Modification of Recording Fees, will create a new fee structure for certain vehicle-related filings effective July 1, 2025.

County Clerk and Recorders will collect a flat $40 fee and $3 surcharge = $43 for filings concerning manufactured homes (as per section 38-29-128) and vehicle liens/mortgages (as per section 42-6-121). This update simplifies the previous fee calculation. The date that will determine the filing fee will be the date that the paperwork is stamped as received by the county office.

 

New Fees Effective July 01, 2025

License plate and material fee increases: 

Material fees for license plates, tabs and other plate production costs are increasing on July 1, 2025. See the 'July 1, 2025' column in the table for the new prices.

Product Type Current Price July 1, 2025 Price Embossed Plate $2.91 $3.69 Embossed (Set) $5.83 $7.38 Specialty Plate $4.70 $5.64 Specialty (Set) $9.40 $11.27 Mounting Boards (County) $1.66 $1.67 MC Mounting Boards (County) $0.58 $0.59 Month/Year Tabs (No Envelope) $0.30 $0.45 Month/Year Tabs (Envelope) $0.33 $0.48 SMMO/SMMR $0.50 $0.68 DPA Blanks w/Tabs $0.13 $0.14 Electric Vehicle Decals $0.25 $0.69 Inoperable Vehicle Tag $0.45 $0.78 Low Power Scooter $0.25 $0.39 Collector Tax $0.25 $0.26

The price customers pay is exactly what the Colorado Department of Revenue (CDOR) is charged by CCi; no extra fees are added. For early registration renewals, the fee is determined by the registration's expiration date. For example, if a registration expires on June 30, 2025 (covering July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026), the increased $0.48 fee will apply, regardless of when the renewal is processed.
