- If the weight of the trailer and the load combined is less than 2,000 pounds, registration is optional. If a farm trailer hauling the farmer's own product has a load of less than 6,000 pounds, registration is optional. For fees on trucks with gross weight of over 16,000 pounds, call the County Treasurer's Office.
- Property tax is paid at the time of registration/title application and is determined in the County Treasurer's Office. The exceptions are heavy trucks, trailers, and mopeds, whose taxes are determined by the County Appraiser's Office.
- Reflectorized plate fee is $0.50.
- Sales tax will be collected in the tag office if the vehicle is bought from an individual or purchased out of state. The sales tax rate is 8.5% in the cities of Concordia, Glasco and Miltonvale. The rest of the county is 7.5%. The sales tax percentage will be figured on the place of the buyers residence, not on the location where the vehicle was purchased.
The fee to transfer is $20.50 plus the difference in the property tax. The names on the two titles must be the same. If the old tag is expired, it can only be transferred if it is a personalized tag. If this is your renewal month, your fees will be the same as a new tag minus the $0.50 plate fee. The old vehicle must be sold or traded in, even if it is not running. As long as the title is still in your name, the plate must stay with it.
I'm moving to Kansas from another state; how do I register my vehicle?
If you have the title, you need to bring in the title, the VIN inspection, and the proof of insurance. The person who is named on the title is the only person who can register the vehicle. If two names appear on the title with and/or between the names, only one person has to come in. If two names are on the title with and between them, both persons must come in. All vehicles coming from out of state must have a VIN inspection from the Cloud County Sheriff’s Department. Call 785-243-3636 for an appointment to have this done. The cost is $20.00 in cash. (Note: This inspection can be done at any Sheriff or Highway Patrol office.)
If you do not have the title because you have a lienholder, you will need to contact your lienholder and have them mail the ORIGINAL Title to the Cloud County Treasurer's Office at : P.O. Box 355, 811 Washington St., Concordia, KS 66901. Once the title is received by our office the owner will need to pick up a Certified Copy of the title in order to obtain a VIN inspection by the Cloud County Sheriff's Department or the Kansas Highway Patrol.
