Vehicle registration?

[The Extractor]

I forgot to register an off road vehicle and this was before the CV19 and went in to pay it and I got hit with a a 100$ late fee and got to pay a whole year of registration in return I get whopping 4 months of use, that I now cant use because of the CV19 bs. Isn't that wonderful? "It doesnt reset until 13 months of expiration."

[FoxtArt]

yup. if expired. it's kinda worth waiting until 13 months. GJ state for rewarding the latest.

Pay at 11 1/2 months and you'll be expired again in two weeks. Pay at 13 months, and it'll cost exactly the exact same but probably won't expire for 23 months. I've saved quite a bit in state "taxes" thanks to that. I haven't renewed straight at 13 months to know for sure if 13 = 23, but I have gotten more than 12 months on one renewal (17 maybe?) so I'd expect it...

Do you know if vehicles previously registered would be considered first time? I still have both vehicles plates from before (DV and regular).

If you registered them in another state then would be considered new CO registration.

That's what I would expect.

Those prior plates are wall hangers now.

If you titled in another state, I think you'll also have to pay the title fee again for Co.

The plates can't be reused, even if a "new" registration?

Since I'll be using the SUV during hunting season, I think I shouldn't have to register for 6 months since if I'M a "non-resident" then my damn vehicles should be too.

Rest assured you will be assessed all of the late fee penalties for not renewing your tags on time even though they are closed and can't process renewals. That's just how the Government works.

Yep. Remember when the new computer system went down? The answer was the same.... Not allowed to waive fees by law.

What about DOT physicals and 50 other useless money and time wasting things?

Inability to Register
County Closures: With many county offices closing, many are wondering what to do about registering their vehicles or renewing their tags. First, vehicles must be registered in the county where you live. You cannot go to a different county to register your vehicle. Most counties are continuing to process mail-in and online transactions. Please use our online services and self-service kiosks, where available (and even in a different county from where you live, as long as your county of residence also participates).

Dealership purchases: Customers who purchased vehicles at a dealership may obtain another temporary permit from the dealership.

Unable to renew online: If you are unable to renew/ register (including completing an emissions test) a vehicle, please complete this form for a registration extension. Please note that we do not have the authority to waive emissions.

Temporary Vehicle registration late-fee waivers: Effective immediately, the state is permitting counties to waive late fees for vehicle registration and renewals. This is in effect for the period of the Governor’s emergency order, plus 60 days. Customers are encouraged to use online services or self-service kiosks to complete eligible transactions.
Fleet Vehicle Registration- For issues with a fleet vehicle registration pleast contact the Vehicle Services Section at 303-205-5608.

I filled out the registration extension form online since I need emissions test to renew. Guess we'll see where that goes. All that form says when you submit is "Your response has been received. The DMV will follow up via email once your submission has been reviewed."

I find it hilarious/perturbing that they say they can't waive emissions. Why the hell not??? (Rhetorically speaking . . . I'm sure that "but muh environmental concerns" are immune from this once-in-a-lifetime-pandemic event where the govt can unilaterally close businesses and force citizens to stay home but they can't say "don't worry about an emissions test for the next couple months and just send in your renewal."

Quick update on this. I received an email back from DMV. They basically send you a PDF letter to print out and keep with you to show LEO if pulled over that says you can't complete your registration due to COVID-19 and that you have an extension to complete it. Has your name, VIN, vehicle type, etc. Last paragraph pasted below.


Note to law enforcement personnel: Due to COVID-19 Pandemic, state and or county offices have

Communications Center if you need to confirm the validity of this letter. This letter is valid until 60
days after the end of the Governor?s emergency order.

So here's how my new registration is progressing (since it's a motorcycle no emissions). I took a photo copy of my driver license, insurance card and the plate I want to transfer to the new bike. The very very very nice lady I've been emailing with in the clerk's office gave me instructions to include a note stating the title number which she provided, a check in the proper amount and a note explaining what it all was for. There's a drop box at the county office where I put it last week. Now just waiting for the stickers and registration.

I've been dealing with the supervisor via these emails and she has been absolutely outstanding.

That's pretty cool when a governmental office actually treats you like a customer (taxpayer).

I have a renewal that requires emissions, except those stations are all closed. I submitted the extension request and got a case #. I have yet to hear back.
