Colorado RV Registration Fee Calculator

RV registration in Colorado splits by type. Self-propelled motorhomes register like other motor vehicles — motorhomes pay Class C Specific Ownership Tax on 85% of MSRP plus a weight fee ($24.50 + 30¢/100 lbs over 6,500). Towed travel trailers and campers run on a separate schedule: roughly $55 per year. Camper trailers pay ~$45–$60 in plate/surcharge fees plus full Specific Ownership Tax on 85% of MSRP (2.1% year one, declining to $3 at year ten) — the SOT dominates for newer trailers. Because motorhome MSRPs are large, value-based charges hit RVs harder than any other vehicle class.
