Medina County considers five dollar vehicle registration tax
Medina County Engineer Andy Conrad asks the Medina County Commissioners to enact a five dollar vehicle registration permissive tax. He notes rising costs in the engineering department, funded largely by license plate fees and fuel tax, with no help from road levies, sales tax, or property taxes. He cites substantial increases in asphalt, concrete, and other materials and warns fuel tax revenue will fall as electric and efficient vehicles rise. He sent a detailed cost data letter on April 18 to support the proposal.
