How does non-payment of motor vehicle excise affect license and registration?
If the service warrant demanding final payment is ignored, the collector may then notify the RMV of such non-payment, including all interest and fees. The Registry may then mark the individual’s registration preventing the renewal of the vehicle registration and the owner’s driver’s license until such time any outstanding accounts are paid. Final payment will include a $20 release fee as final settlement of the excise. Upon payment the deputy collector will notify the Registry that the registration and/or license are now able to be renewed. It is strongly recommended to retain all receipts of excise bills paid.
A. If the service warrant demanding final payment is ignored, the collector may then notify the Registrar of Motor Vehicles of such non-payment, including all accrued interest and penalty fees. The Registrar may then mark the individual’s registration preventing the renewal of the motor vehicle registration and the owner’s driver’s license until such time as the Registrar is notified that full and final payment has been made to the city or town. This payment shall include a $20.00 release fee, (per marked bill) as final settlement of the delinquent excise. Once the bill has been paid, the municipality will give the motorist a release so he or she can return to the Registry to reregister his/her vehicle. Although the local tax collectors do notify the Registrar that the matter is resolved, it is strongly advised to retain the certified receipt of payment for presentation to the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
