1. How much does it cost to title and register my vehicle?
It varies depending on the vehicle. There is a $4.00 title fee; an $8.00 registration fee; plus an air quality research fee of $1.50; and a vehicle license tax (VLT) assessed in place of a personal property tax charged by other states. There may also be a weight fee for commercial vehicles and other fees. The VLT is based on an assessed value of 60% of the manufacturer's base retail price reduced by 16.25% for each year since the vehicle was first registered in Arizona (15% before 8/1/98). Then, as of the Dec 1, 2000 reduction, the rate is calculated as $2.80 (new vehicles)/$2.89 (used vehicles) for each $100 of the assessed value. For example, for a new vehicle that costs $25,000, the first year assessed value would be $15,000 and the VLT would be $420.00. The second year the assessed value would be $12,562.50 and the VLT would be $363.06.
For a mobile home the title fee is $7.00. No other mobile home fees are payable to MVD
2. How do I apply for a duplicate title and what is the fee?
Complete a title application, check the appropriate box at the top of the form, and pay a $4.00 title fee. A photo identification may be requested for walk-in customers.
3. My title and lien release are lost. How do I get a replacement?
Contact your lienholder for a replacement notarized lien release. Take the lien release to any MVD or Authorized Third Party office and apply for a duplicate title. Staple the lien release to the duplicate title.
4. What can I do if my lienholder does not deliver my title after I have paid off my loan?
You may apply for an MVD Administrative Hearing if your lienholder does not provide you with the title within 15 business days from full satisfaction of the lien.
