So I just bought a car on the 18th, my tag expires next week. Will I get pulled over if I haven’t got my new plate by the 18th? What’s the penal odor that?
So apparently my tag expired in Feb and I didn't notice...until I got pulled over in Smallville OK (I'll leave the burg anonymous)
Per OTC - Registration Renewal Penalty
Delinquent registration renewal penalties vary, depending upon the classification of the vehicle. In most registration renewal situations, delinquent penalties begin one (1) month following expiration, accruing in the amount of $1.00 per day until paid, or until the maximum penalty amount of $100.00 is reached
I renewed yesterday - $82 (I assume $15 of which was the penalty)
Today I called Smallburg's courthouse.. They want an obscene (>$200) fine on top of the the OTC fine/penalty
???
How is this in the city's jurisdiction?
I was issued no other citation... Were they just running tags? Is that illegal?
Where can I find this fine posted? Does it vary by city?
