Connecticut Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator
Connecticut bills passenger registration at $120 per three-year cycle (shown annualized at $40), plus statutory add-ons per cycle: $5 plate, $15 Clean Air, $15 Greenhouse Gas, and a $24 Passport to Parks fee (raised in July 2025). The bigger recurring cost is the municipal motor vehicle property tax — since late 2024 computed from depreciated MSRP at a 70% assessment ratio, capped at 32.46 mills. EVs pay no surcharge and skip the Clean Air fee.
