These NC DMV fees are set to increase starting July 1
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Starting July 1, a number of N.C. Division of Motor Vehicle fees will increase.
State law requires the DMV to adjust fees and rates every four years, based on the percentage change in the annual Consumer Price Index during the past four years. This year, about 90 license and registration-related fees will increase by 19.18%.
The NCDMV says examples of the changes include a $1 per year increase for a regular driver license. Currently, the fee is $5.50 for each year of the license, which is issued for five or eight years. Under the new structure, a five-year license will go up $5 and an eight-year license will increase by $8.
