Registration Fees

You can calculate a registration fee for a vehicle by clicking here: Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator

Wyoming Statutes dictate the calculation of all registration fees. Therefore, the fees are the same no matter what county a vehicle is registered in. However, the county that collects the fees keeps and distributes the money to the taxing entities in their county. Therefore, residents are encourages to register vehicles in the county where they reside.

Registration fees consist of 2 parts; A COUNTY FEE and a STATE FEE.

The County Fee is calculated using the following formula:

FACTORY COST X YEAR OF SERVICE RATE X .03 = County Fee

Therefore, a new vehicle having a factory cost of $20,000 would have a county fee of:

$20,000 X 60% X .03 = $360.00

The State Fee depends on the vehicle type, as follows:

Passenger$15.00
Truck, Trailers$2.00-$60.00, Depending on WEIGHT
Motorcycle$12.00
Commercial$80.00-$1,400.00, Depending on Weight

Place your mouse over any word in red and all-caps in order to see definitions of those words.
The County Fee is actually an ad valorem tax, meaning a tax based on the value of the vehicle. Therefore, it is usually the portion allowed as a deduction on IRS tax returns.

The county fee is distributed monthly to the taxing entities (schools, city, county, etc) in the county.

The State Fee is a fee levied by and sent to the State of Wyoming.

State fee rates depend on the vehicle type. (See table on bottom left)

The Factory Cost is the original amount the dealership paid to purchase the vehicle from the factory.

The Clerk's Office computes the factory cost and places it on titles.

Which Year of Service the vehicle is in determines the rate at which it's taxed, as follows:

1st Year: 60%
2nd Year: 50%
3rd Year: 40%
4th Year: 30%
5th Year: 20%
6th Year or More: 15%

In other words, a new vehicle is taxed at a rate of 60% and a vehicle 6 years or older is taxed at 15%.
