Please ask your tax advisor.

When will the new license plate be available?

We are projecting the new plate to be available starting in July 2026. We will announce the new plate on email and all of our social channels to share the exciting news when this happens.

I have the current license plate. What will I need to do to get the new plate?

There is no special process to apply for or renew most sponsored plates. The County Treasurer’s office issues or renews the plates when you pay the applicable vehicle registration fees and any special license plate fees.You can visit your County Treasurer’s office to replace standard plates with a sponsored plate, or order new ones for a new vehicle before the official renewal date. When renewing, you have the option to keep your existing design or switch to the new one.
