Louisiana Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator

Louisiana registration is value-based: 0.1% of the vehicle's value per year (a $20 minimum per two-year cycle, about $10/yr for inexpensive cars), plus an $8 handling fee. Enter your MSRP for the estimate. EVs owe a $110 annual road-usage fee and hybrids $60 — but those are paid with your state income tax return, not at the OMV.
