NASHVILLE, Tenn. — People won't need to spend much money registering their vehicles starting July 1, when the state officially starts waiving registration fees.
The Tennessee General Assembly previously approved the waiver in Public Chapter 1143 and it will last until June 30, 2023. It covers Class A and Class B vehicles, waiving $16.75 for Class A registration fees and $23.75 for Class B registration fees.
Class A includes motorcycles and autocycles, while Class B includes passenger cars and motor homes. Other fees meant for safety and system improvements, as well as electric vehicle registration fees and county fees, will not be waived.
Drivers who need to renew expired license plates should check with their local county clerk to see which fees still apply. In Knox County, there is a $36 wheel tax. More information about the county's tag renewal fees can be found online.
The Tennessee Department of Revenue said people with questions should call (615) 741-3101.
