Iowans Benefit From Low Car Fees in Iowa and Higher States

Iowa charges some of the lowest registration fees for older cars in a six state region while new cars face higher rates. For a 1984 Oldsmobile Firenza Iowa asks 17 dollars versus 48 in Illinois and 45 in Wisconsin. A 1998 Malibu costs 169 in Iowa but 31 in South Dakota and 211 in Minnesota. The state funds road construction with these fees, and lawmakers consider raising minimum fees or adjusting pickup charges. Senator Richard Drake notes few complaints about current rates. The DOT weighs financing options for future highway funding.
