Mississippi Motorcycle Registration Fee Calculator

Registering a typical motorcycle in Mississippi runs about $8.00 per year for a recent-model bike. Motorcycles follow the same fee system as other vehicles in Mississippi — with their own (usually lower) base rates. Mississippi details: Mississippi's state registration runs about $29 per year for a passenger car ($14 tag fee plus the $15 road and bridge privilege tax), but counties levy ad valorem taxes on vehicles (assessed at 30% of depreciated value against local mill rates of roughly 46–172) collected with your tag — that's why identical cars cost very different amounts in different counties. EV and hybrid fees started at $150/$75 and are CPI-indexed each July; current amounts are approximately $185 and $93.
