Vehicle License Fee Bill SB6900

There is a bill that the Washington State Legislature is trying to pass in
Olympia that, if successful, will directly add huge costs to our vehicle
license fees. The bill is SB 6900 and it adds an "engine displacement" fee to
the
vehicle license tabs upon renewal.

The fee is a varied amount depending on the size of the vehicle's engine:

Engine Size (liters) Rate Schedule
Up to 1.9 $0
2.0 - 2.9 $70
3.0 - 3.9 $225
4.0 - 4.9 $275
5.0 - 5.9 $325
6.0 - 7.9 $400
8.0 or over $600
  (Conversions:  Liters x 61.002 = Cubic Inches; Cubic Inches x 0.01639 =
Liters)
