Vehicle license fees go up Thursday

COLUMBUS — Ohio drivers will be paying a little more to register their cars and renew their licenses, under fee increases that take effect Thursday.

The changes were part of the state transportation budget approved by lawmakers earlier this year but taking effect now.

Among the fee changes affecting Ohio drivers, according to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles are:

• Vision screening fees are increasing $1.75 to $2.75 from $1. The change will be included in standard and commercial driver’s license renewals, which will cost $25.75 and $44.75, respectively.
