Unseen Road Improvement Fee Alerts Residents
Is there a new Road improvement Fee I didn't see a bulletin?
Road Improvement Fee for Zero Emission Vehicles
There is a Road Improvement Fee (RIF) for model year 2020 and later zero emission vehicles (ZEV). This fee affects vehicle registration renewals unless exempted. It is not assessed on the initial registration of a newly purchased ZEV from a licensed vehicle dealer.
More Information
You can find more information about the RIF in the provided link to the California DMV fee chart: California DMV Fee Chart.
Update:
No, it is not new. The $100 road improvement fee for zero emission vehicles was implemented back in 2020 as part of the total vehicle registration renewal fee. This fee applies to all model year 2020 and later ZEVs.
