Registration renewal fees

Your renewal is due every 12 months. But if you’d like to pay in smaller amounts more often, you can change to a 3 or 6 month period. For short-term registration, your fee will be a pro-rata amount of the annual fee plus an additional $2.70 service fee per registration period. For light trailers or caravans, you only have a 12-month registration option.

The registration fee depends on the type of vehicle. For example, if you have a sedan, station wagon, 4WD or a ute. The TAC charge is based on your vehicle type and where you usually keep your vehicle, your ‘risk zone’.

If you have a valid concession, you may be able to get a discount on your registration cost.
