Vehicle Registration & Renewal

  1. W e apologize; We are currently making enhancements to our property tax software and property tax account information.  Account information by phone, payment by phone, online account information, and the online payment portal will not be available beginning Friday, June 2nd at 5 p.m. through Sunday, June 4th (time on Sunday to be determined).  Thank you for your patience and understanding.

All vehicle registration and title transfers require proof of insurance and a current vehicle inspection that is no more than 90 days old.

You have several options to register or renew your vehicle registration. Please be certain to have your current proof of insurance with you at the time of your renewal.

OUR LOBBIES ARE OPEN! All persons conducting business in the Tax Assessor-Collector’s Office are encouraged to wear a facial covering. Due to limited seating, only two persons per transaction will be allowed in the building. Our phone center, commercial offices, and Southside Drive-Thru continue to remain open. You may view a list of the 19 private Vehicle Full-Service Title Companies here, that can do most motor vehicle transactions but for a convenience fee.

Vehicle transactions may be left in our drop boxes after hours. Please allow up to 14 days for completion.
