Your vehicle

Vehicle typeA truck operated at 10,000 lbs or less (with its load) gets the same 2-year registration as a passenger car. Above 10,000 lbs it pays a yearly fee by registration weight.

Your situation

Purchase price

Only used for the 0.5% vehicle privilege or use tax on new or nearly new vehicles bought from a dealer. Oregon has no sales tax.

Brand new, sold with a manufacturer's certificate of originA brand-new car, pickup or motorcycle gets a 4-year first registration, so the registration and county fees are doubled. Yearly-registered trucks over 10,000 lbs are not affected.

7,500 miles or less and never registered in OregonVehicles bought from a dealer that meet this pay the 0.5% vehicle privilege tax (Oregon dealer) or vehicle use tax (out-of-state dealer).

Vehicle tax paid to another state

Sales, use or excise tax on the vehicle itself that the out-of-state dealer charged. It is credited against the Oregon use tax.

The vehicle has valid Oregon plates and registrationIf so, you only pay the title fee now; registration is paid at the next renewal.

When you apply for the title

Truck registration weightRegistration weight is the empty weight of the truck and anything it tows (except light trailers of 8,000 lbs or less, campers and travel trailers) plus the heaviest load it will carry.

Combined MPG ratingThe DMV uses the manufacturer's combined MPG for your VIN (fueleconomy.gov). It sets the title fee and, for passenger registration, the registration fee.

Enrolled in OReGO (pay per mile)OReGO members with an electric or 40+ MPG vehicle pay the $86 two-year registration and a per-mile road charge instead of the higher fee.

All-electric motorcycleElectric vehicles pay the $192 electric vehicle title fee.

County where you live or keep the vehicleOnly these three counties add a registration fee. If you live in one of them but the vehicle stays in another county, pick 'Any other Oregon county'.

Needs new Oregon plates

DEQ emissions testMost vehicles in the Portland and Medford areas must pass a DEQ test before registering; newer vehicles are exempt. The fee is paid to DEQ only if the vehicle passes.
