Who owns the IRP plates?
You can buy your own base plate or run under DMTC’s. The cost of DMTC’s plate is approximately $1,700 per year and can be prorated for the remainder of the year. If DMTC purchases the plates, they can be deducted from the weekly settlements at $75 per week, but remain property of DMTC. Should you not finish the year with DMTC, the only part of the plate that is refundable is the Iowa portion. This portion is only $15 per month for the remaining whole months.
