CRESTVIEW — Motorists can now take advantage of the state's reduction of vehicle registration renewal fees.
"The governor signed legislation earlier this year that will save Florida motorists $395 million in vehicle renewal fees, based on an average savings of up to $25 per registration," Okaloosa County Tax Collector Ben Anderson said. “This fee reduction appropriately keeps more of the hard-earned money in the hands of the citizens and their families to help with their monthly expenses. These savings will work their way into Florida's economy while benefiting our citizens — a true win-win for the state and the people."
The Florida Tax Collector’s Association was proactive when this bill was making its way through the Legislature, Anderson said.
“Before it was signed into law,” he said, “we recommended single-year renewals while discouraging biennial renewals. Now that September is upon us with the new and lower rates, we want to let our customers know that renewing for two years is a good thing!”
