Motor vehicle fees in Florida have increased for all drivers
as a result of legislation enacted by the 2009 legislature. The Florida Dept. of Highway
Safety and Motor Vehicles has posted the new fees on their website.
Please note that these are base fees only and actual amounts due will vary. For example, all driver license
transactions have an additional $6.25 added and other statutory fees are applied to vehicle registrations.
