Butler County, levy of additional motor vehicle license and registration fee authorized

HB 550 authorizes the Butler County Commission to implement an additional annual fee on motor vehicle licenses and registrations. This fee, up to $5.25, would apply to new registrations, transfers, or renewals for vehicles in Butler County, starting January 1, 2026. The county's license issuing official would collect this fee from motor vehicle owners. The collected funds would then be distributed monthly, with one-third each going to the sheriff, the revenue commissioner, and the judge of probate.
