Yes. We provide anyone the opportunity to place multiple registrations for renewal into the same month.

You can pick the month. All other registrations will be moved to your chosen month. It does make it easier if you pick a current renewal month of one of your registrations.

10. How do I signup to bundle my registrations?

For two or three registrations bring the current registrations and required insurance card(s) to our office and let the assisting clerk know of your interest in bundling your registrations.

For three or more registrations we recommend that you make a list of all registrations along with the license plate numbers you want to move to your chosen month. Email Registration that list along with a daytime phone number. We will contact you to schedule a visit to complete the process.

11. If I bundle, will all new purchases automatically be put in my renewal month?

No, each time that you need to register a new vehicle you will need to let the clerk know that you would like to add the new registration to your current month due.

12. Is there an advantage to bundling?

Bundling your registrations can save you time by giving you a choice to pay one time a year. It also saves you postage and reduces your wait times in the future.
