If this is the original registration (the first time you register your vehicle), you must pay the following:

• registration fee
• vehicle plate fee
• county use tax
• sales tax (see sales tax information)
• title certificate fee of $50.00
• Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District (MCTD) fee for the following 12 counties only:  Bronx, Kings (Brooklyn), New York (Manhattan), Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester

If you transfer the registration and plates from another vehicle, you don’t need to pay the plate fees or MCTD fee, and you may be able to transfer the registration fees to your new vehicle.

The online estimates do not include the sales tax. You do not need to pay sales tax when you register if you show DMV acceptable proof that you paid the sales tax when you bought the vehicle, or if the registration is tax exempt. See sales tax information.

You can also use these charts to estimate your registration fees, use taxes, and supplemental fees for passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles.
 

Estimate registration fees and taxes online

You cannot use the online service to estimate fees and taxes for trailers or boats.

Trailer and boat registration fees are calculated differently. See register a trailer, or register a boat for how to estimate these registration fees.
