But i think it cost me around $21 as i transferd the plates over. I love living in NY..Specifically here on eastern Long Island but these increases being mandated on us during these difficult economic times is leading me to think more and more about moving elsewhere.  We already pay some of the highest property taxes and utilities in the country but yet it seems not a week goes by without us all hearing of another corrupt politician living high on the hog off of taxpayers money or a lawyer getting on a school payroll so he or she can get a NY State retirement and on and on it goes....
Anyway, regarding the new fee for NY license plates.
Drivers required to buy new license plates
An additional fee adopted in this year's state budget is inspiring a lot of road rage. Starting in April 2010, all drivers in New York will be required to buy brand new license plates at $25 a set, regardless of whether they're driving a new car or not. That's $10 more than the current price. If you want to keep your same license plate number, it will cost you another $20. "Why? Why do we need new plates?" asked Larry Hughes of Onondaga Hill.
The state claims this is for safety because the reflectivity on many of the license plates issued in 2001 has worn out. But what about states like Delaware that have had the same plates since 1970? "I think it's another way for the state to get more money," said Frazier Hunt of Skaneateles.
He's absolutely right. There are 12 million registered drivers in the state, and the State Department of Motor Vehicles estimates this will bring in $129 million. Senator John DeFrancisco tells Action News the money should come from cutting spending, saying: "This is just one of more than 100 fees that were adopted in last year's budget to satisfy the insatiable desire of New York City Democrat state leaders to spend the money of hard-working New Yorkers."
License and registration fees will also go up 25%. Starting September 1st, the price of a driver's license will increase from $50 to $62.50. Drivers at the D.M.V. say the timing couldn't be worse. "With the economy and no jobs and stuff like that, and job losses, I'm on unemployment right now to tell you the truth, I can barely afford it," said Jermaine Sterling of Syracuse.
"People are hurting now, people are just scraping to get by," Hughes said. "Why should they have to buy new plates if they don't need them?"
Drivers won't have to run out and buy new plates on April 1st. The update will take place over a two-year period as drivers renew their registrations

I live in Toronto,Canada and we pay hundreds of dollars to register a car, but if you walk across the city limits and live there your price tag drops to less than half. This city sucks. |
