Do I qualify for a refund of my registration fees?A: Unfortunately, no you are not. Vehicle registration is inherited with the sale. If you purchase a vehicle with expired registration, you are subject to the registration and late fees. If you purchase a vehicle with current registration, you are not subject to the registration fees for the current year, as they have already been paid.
