How To Calculate What a License Plate Will Cost
You can calculate a registration fee for a vehicle by accessing our Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator. Wyoming Statutes dictate the calculation of all registration fees. Therefore, the fees are the same no matter what 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.
Registration fees consist of two parts: a county fee and a state fee.
County Fees
The county fee is a tax based on the value of the vehicle and is calculated using the following formula:
- Factory Cost
x Year of Service Rate
x 0.03
County Fee
$20,000 X 60% X .03 = $360.00

State Fees
The state fee is a fee levied by the State of Wyoming and is remitted to the Department of Transportation each month.

Distribution
Where Registration Fees Go
The county fees collected for license plate registration are distributed to taxing entities in the same manner as all other property taxes. Which means it's distributed in proportion to the county mill levy table. The state fee is remitted to the Wyoming Department of Transportation each month.
