Oregon vehicle registration fee calculator

How Oregon sets the fees

Oregon DMV bases both title and registration on the vehicle's combined fuel economy rating, which it takes from the MPG rating assigned to the VIN by the manufacturer. You can look up a rating at fueleconomy.gov. The DMV fee page covers passenger vehicles and trucks of 26,000 pounds GVWR or less. The two statutes behind the registration figures are ORS 803.420, which sets a base fee for each year of a biennial registration, and ORS 803.422, which adds an amount for each year according to MPG. The DMV page is the published price list and reflects the current totals, so this calculator uses the DMV figures rather than adding the statute tables by hand.

One caution about the statutes: the 2025 edition of ORS 803.422 carries a note that the section is amended by Enrolled House Bill 3991 from the 2025 special session. The base statute text on its own therefore understates today's fees, which is why you should read the DMV page, not an older table, for the amounts.

Registration fees

Regular passenger registration is valid for two years. The DMV lists the two-year registration fee by MPG: $126 for 0 to 19 MPG; $136 for 20 to 39 MPG; $216 for 40 MPG or higher if the vehicle is not enrolled in OReGO; $376 for an all-electric vehicle that is not enrolled in OReGO; and $88 for a motorcycle or moped. OReGO is Oregon's road usage charge program, in which drivers pay for the miles they drive in place of the per-gallon gas tax, and the DMV states that enrollment makes the two-year registration fee $86. The page also says that starting July 1, 2027, at renewal, drivers of used electric vehicles will pay an $86 two-year fee and then choose either a flat fee or pay by the mile, effective January 1, 2028 for new electric vehicles and July 1, 2028 for hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

A new passenger vehicle sold with a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin receives a four-year registration, and the DMV says to double the registration fee and any county fees. The calculator does that when the new-vehicle box is checked.

Title fees

Title fees apply to original, duplicate and replacement transactions. For passenger vehicles and trucks of 26,000 pounds GVWR or less the DMV lists $101 for 0 to 19 MPG, $106 for 20 to 39 MPG, $116 for 40 MPG or higher, and $192 for all-electric vehicles. Other vehicle types such as motorcycles, light and travel trailers and motor homes pay $101 (an electric one pays the electric rate), heavy vehicles $90, and a salvage title is $27. A late title transfer costs $25 between 31 and 60 days after the sale of an Oregon-titled vehicle and $50 after 60 days. The calculator offers the four passenger title fees and leaves the late-transfer fee to you.

Plates and county fees

If you need new license plates at initial registration, the DMV says the fee is $26. Moving Oregon plates onto another vehicle is $30. Replacement plate sets and other plate fees are listed in a separate table on the same page. County fees are added to registration: $112 if the vehicle is kept in Multnomah County and $60 in Washington or Clackamas County, and the DMV tells you to add together each fee type that applies. Special background plates have their own fees on the License Plates page.

Worked examples

Titling and registering a 20 to 39 MPG car in Multnomah County. Registration $136, county fee $112, new plates $26 and the title $106 total $380.

New electric vehicle, enrolled in OReGO, outside the three counties. The registration is $86 for two years; because a new vehicle with a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin receives four years, it is doubled to $172, and no other fee is added: $172.

Renewal for a 0 to 19 MPG vehicle in Washington County. $126 plus a $60 county fee is $186.

Limits

This estimate does not include a trip permit, a VIN inspection ($9), a replacement plate ($12), special plates, or the late-transfer fees. Prices on the DMV page change when the legislature or the department changes them, so use the DMV's own fee calculator for passenger vehicles to confirm before you pay.
