Vehicle Licensing Fees
Fees Effective July 1, 2017
Wyoming Statutes dictate the calculation of all registration fees. The licensing fees are the same for each county regardless of the county a vehicle is registered in. However, the county that collects the fees keeps and distributes the money to the taxing entities in their county. Therefore, residents are encouraged to register vehicles in the county where they reside.
Vehicle registration fees consist of 2 parts; a county fee and a state fee.
Factory cost is not the blue book value, retail value, or the purchase price. The factory cost is the original cost placed on vehicle by the automobile factory. This can generally be found on your Wyoming Title; if you are calculating a renewal then the factory cost can be found on your previous year's Wyoming registration listed under the box: Fact Price.
