Stopped by my local DMV in IL and inquired about the new plate fee's and car/truck plates are going to $101.00 to $151.00 and RV trailer fee's are going from $30.00 to $130.00 starts jan 1st 2020 and they said all other plate fees were going up as well just didn't have information yet. Atleast I get to pay $30.00 for the TT in Dec this year but I'm hit with $151.00 in Jan with my truck gotta love the tax the state of Illinois to death.

Travel trailers were probably too low at thirty dollars, but fifty would have been more reasonable.

It shouldn't be too much of a surprise, you knew the Plate Fees were not going down. :(

People in Illinois are taxed to death to offset the state's debt. Tom to relocate to Indiana.

Arkansas towable RV and trailer tags are one time charge of $36.00 good for as long as you own it. But we do have personal property tax on them that we have to pay every year.So they get you one way or the other.

Border towns in other states Love the new business. One family I know moved from Ill to IA just because of recent gas and other tax increases.

That $151 plate fee is for cars and trucks under 8000 lbs. If your GVWR is over 8000 then you need a D plate that will be $250. I was told by a state trooper Illinois is going to start going after all the trucks that do not have the correct plates. If your GVWR is 8001 or more you need a D plate if your GVWR is 12001 or more you need a F plate. I was told fines will start at $1 per pound over.

Just because the truck is rated for that does not mean it may ever weigh that much. That’s why you register it for the weight you are going to be at. It’s up to the driver to stay under the registered weight.

I assume that is per year?
In Oregon vehicle plates are some what cheap $112 for standard plates for two years. Except Washington and Multnomah County's In Multnomah County it is $150 for two years and in Washington county it is $172 for two years.
Our 32' 5er will cost $229.50 the rate is based on length fee goes from $81.00 to $317 25 for a 45' travel trailer/5er for two years.
