Colorado is cracking down on drivers with expired registration or tags, and new Colorado residents who don’t register their car within three months of moving to Colorado.
State lawmakers passed the Colorado Registration Fairness Act last year and the new law went into effect on January 1st.
Part of the law requires a person to register their vehicle in Colorado within 90 days of moving to the state. Anyone who fails to register their vehicle within the 90-day grace period will be required to pay the vehicle’s registration taxes and fees that are pro-rated from the date the person became a Colorado resident.
Another part of the law requires that Colorado residents register their cars within 60 days of buying them, and not let their temporary tag expire. Drivers who fail to do this will be fined $25 a month for every month they’re late, and up to $100.
