June 18, 2021Colorado Vehicle Registration Renewal Cost - 2022 MYP (For Reference)
Just to add some transparency to how much it costs to renew your vehicle registration in Colorado (Denver). This breakdown is for a 2022 MYP with custom plates ($25 charge for plates). Total cost is $1,015.50 plus 2.5% service fee if you pay online with a credit card. As someone originally from Texas ($75 vehicle registration fee back in the day), this is painful.

May 20, 2023New vehicle registration cost is outrageous!
That was one of the biggest "Sticker Shocks" of moving to Colorado. I agree with the sentiment that if people are paying that much for regristration, that Colorado should have the best kept roads in the country, not the pot hole derby we currently have. More on reddit.com

r/ColoradoSprings on Reddit: New to Colorado - car registration
October 23, 2024 -
I know I know, been asked a million times. Please bear with me - I’m usually able to figure this kinda stuff out on my own but holy cow, CO seems to make the process as difficult as possible (I’ve registered cars in 2 other states)😵💫🤕
Here’s the quick and dirty: car has unexpired tags from WA, purchased car in WA 3 years ago/paid sales tax there, title is from WA (I’m the owner).
Here’s my understanding: need CO DL (done), need CO insurance (done), DON’T need emissions test cuz car is less than 6 years old, need VIN verification form. DMV website states you need to convert an out of state title to a CO one before registering but doesn’t list any instructions - is this done through the VIN verification or is there an additional step?
Is there anything I’m missing or misunderstanding? Are there any places you can get the VIN verification form completed for free? (Results have mentioned dealerships or LE - would appreciate input from someone who’s recently, successfully, gotten it done) And, most importantly, I do NOT have to pay the sales tax again, right? In my research I’ve come across several posts stating people had to pay thousands of dollars to register an out of state car and I will legitimately cry if that’s the case. TIA

You can do VIN verification at car dealerships. I have a Honda and went to Groove Honda. No issues, was in and out and didn’t need an appointment. I had to pay late registration fees which was $100 (the max). Total cost to register my out of state vehicle was $650
