| How Much Is It To Get A License Plate In Ohio |
The Great Plate Debate: Standard Issue vs. Standing Out
The Humble Standard Plate: For the fiscally responsible driver, the good news is that slapping on a standard-issue Ohio plate is pretty affordable. We're talking in the ballpark of $31, plus some minor fees and taxes. Think of it as the "participation trophy" of the license plate world - you get to be a part of the club, without breaking the bank.
The Allure of the Vanity Plate: But let's be honest, standard plates are about as exciting as watching paint dry. If you crave a personalized plate that screams "This car is an extension of my fabulous personality!", then get ready to loosen your purse strings a bit more. A vanity plate will set you back a cool $50, on top of the standard registration fees.
Pro Tip: Think twice before going all out on a vanity plate that only you understand. Unless it's "BATMAN", you might just confuse everyone on the road.
Don't Forget the Extras!
County Fees: Just like that pesky relative who always shows up unannounced, some counties in Ohio tack on an additional $5 fee to your registration bill. So, depending on where you live, you might need to factor that in.
Renewal Fees: Remember, even the most dazzling vanity plate gets a little dusty after a while. When it's time to renew your registration, those fees will likely be around $31 again for standard plates, and $60 for vanity plates (including the initial issuance fee).
Side Note: Don't be that guy who gets pulled over for expired plates. Trust us, the light show from the police car will be way less exciting than the one you envisioned for your vanity plate.
