Attention!!! :rauch0001:
As of July 1, 2011, California DMV is no longer required to mail out advance notices for upcoming vehicle registration. They are balancing that change with an additional grace period of 30 days before penalties would be applied. They are also adding $12 to the registration fee. I understand the state is trying to cut back on the costs of mailing out the notices and trying to increase revenue with the increased fee as well as hoping that many of us simply forget to pay our registration on time, thereby adding even more through penalties. Key here is that if we don't remind ourselves with post-it notes or iPhone alarms, we will pay extra for our vehicle registration.
