New Auto Tags Increase Maryland License Fees
Washington motorists must license today to avoid a doubling of the Maryland automobile license fee. The bill, soon to be signed by the governor, raises fees by about 100 percent, sets a reciprocity pact with all states, but favors the District of Columbia with stricter entry rules. Existing licenses may be kept without paying the higher amount if renewed before the change takes effect, but all licenses expire December 1. The act takes effect immediately and aims to double costs for horsepower and higher vehicles, prompting ongoing reciprocity efforts with Maryland.
