You have to pay yearly for a specialty plate on top of registration fees? Is this a Maryland thing or have I been lucky enough to only get a specialty plate in a state that charged a one time fee?
- jrochkind1 3y agoYes, in Maryland. Every state is different (i'd imagine not every state even has "specialty" plates), I don't know what's more common. But I imagined the whole reason they have "specialty" plates is revenue generation? https://mva.maryland.gov/about-mva/Pages/info/27300/27300-29T.aspx https://mva.maryland.gov/about-mva/Pages/info/27300/27300-29... I think "specialty" plates are silly. I am old enough to remember when there was one option, and for every state it was white letters on a different solid color background, and that was fine.
- jdmichal 3y agoIn Florida, the fees paid for specialty plates are given directly to an organization which established the plate -- typically a charitable organization. So they're a way to support, while also providing personalization. The $25/year for my plate goes directly to my alma mater. Even Disney set up their plates to go to the Make a Wish Foundation.
