California Green/Red Sticker Fee Increased to $52
 
The California OHV green/red sticker fee increased from $50 to $52 on January 1, 2009.  This increase comes one year after the doubling of the green/red sticker fee from $25 to $50 pursuant to SB 742.
 
The increase is a result of a previous law (Senate Bill 1055, signed into law by Governor Gray Davis on October 8, 2003) which increased forty-one different Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) fees to avert a shortfall in the California Highway Patrol (CHP) budget and the Motor Vehicle Account (MVA) and making other budget related changes. 





In addition to the original fee increases, the bill directed the DMV to implement future fee increases when the California Consumer Price Index (CCPI), as calculated by the Department of Finance, showed increases in inflation.  The CCPI measures inflation by tracking a number of common items purchased by consumers.  The increases in the CCPI over the past five years triggered previous $1 increases on other vehicle code sections, but not until now has it affected the two, $3 OHV fees given to CHP from OHV identification (registration).
 
The increased Green/Red Sticker fees became effective on January 1, 2009.  For more information, visit the California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division website.
