• Initial Registration -- after 7th working day following purchase 
• If Registered in Another State -- 30 days after vehicle enters the state

How is penalty calculated?

The penalty is assessed on the total amount of taxes and fees (regardless of credits) and in the following manner:

5% -- for first 15 days

10% -- for next 30 days

15% -- for next 30 days

20% -- for next 30 days

25% -- for next 30 days -- at this point legislative tag credit is lost.
