Connecticut Motorcycle Registration Fee Calculator

Registering a typical motorcycle in Connecticut runs about $209.00 per year for a recent-model bike. Motorcycles follow the same fee system as other vehicles in Connecticut — with their own (usually lower) base rates, though the state's value-based charges still apply and scale with your bike's original price. Connecticut details: Connecticut registration is $120 per three-year cycle plus statutory add-ons, but the big recurring cost is the municipal motor-vehicle property tax: 70% of the car's value times your town's mill rate, capped at 32.46 mills. Pick your town and enter your MSRP for the full bill. EVs pay no surcharge.
