Illinois drivers will pay the nation’s highest base fee and fifth highest overall fee for vehicle registration to help fund Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s $45 billion infrastructure plan.
The General Assembly passed the infrastructure proposal June 2, and Pritzker is expected to sign it. The legislation also includes a doubled gas tax expected to cost a family with two cars $300 more a year.
Under the proposal, Illinois drivers of standard vehicles weighing 8,000 pounds or less will see registration fees jump from $98 to $148 in 2020.
All other large vehicles, including trailers and buses, will see registration fee increases of $100. The registration on electronic vehicles will increase from $35 every two years to $248 every year. Motorcycles will not see a change in the $38 registration cost.
