The total cost to register a vehicle varies depending on the age, type or weight of the vehicle,
inspection requirements, your county of residence, etc.

PASSENGER VEHICLES
|
|
Idaho code sets the basic annual registration fee
for passenger vehicles (pickup trucks, neighborhood electric vehicles, or other motor
vehicles having a maximum gross weight 8,000 pounds or less) as follows:
- $48 for vehicles one or two years old
- $36 for vehicles three to six years old
- $24 for vehicles seven or more years old
|
MOTOR HOMES
|
Motor
home “registration fees” are based on vehicle age as listed above.
Motor homes are also required to register as a recreational vehicle
(RV). RV fees start at $8.50 for the first $1,000 of market
value, plus $5.00 for each additional $1,000 of market value. The
market value used to calculate RV fees for motorhomes is unique and
uses a valuation factor based on the type of motorhome chassis. This
approach excludes the value of the motor home chassis from
the recreational portion of the vehicle.
NOTE: Motor home RV valuation factors are established by the Idaho State Tax Commission.
To determine the recreational value of a motorhome coach, multiply the
overall value of the motorhome, including all optional equipment, by
the following pre-determined chassis valuation factors. The product of
the multiplication is the RV value used to determine RV fees.
