Passenger vehicles are registered annually on a staggered ground. By and large, registrations expire one year from the calendar month issued. The payment of municipal excise (holding) taxes is a prerequisite for all motor vehicle registrations.  Excise taxes must be paid to your town office prior to registration.  Many municipal offices also issue registrations. Residents of those municipalities that practice not issue registrations must bring the excise tax certificate to a local Bureau of Motor Vehicles function to complete the registration process and obtain the registration plates, stickers, and a completed registration.
