Ohio seeks tax hike and tag fee changes in budget plan
The proposal would raise gasoline tax by two cents annually for three years to fund a 402 million plan, boost vehicle registration by six dollars, driver’s licenses by ten, and add a five dollar fee on temporary plates. It also cuts dealer-to-dealer title fees, lowers a standard by 0.10, imposes a 50 cent per day sod rental fee, and shifts penalties to contractors based on E checks. The plan would drop dual front and rear plate requirements, saving about 2.2 million yearly, and move Ohioans to biennial registrations. Counties Hamilton, Medina, Stark and others are noted in the budget context.
