HD 1118 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act limiting motor vehicle dealer documentation fees

This bill limits motor vehicle dealers' documentation fees to a maximum of $400 for paperwork related to vehicle sales, leases, or financing transactions exceeding $2,500. It prohibits dealers from charging such fees for transactions under $2,500, with violations potentially resulting in fines or license suspension by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. The law directly affects both dealers (by capping fees) and customers (by preventing fees on lower-priced vehicles). It creates a clear threshold ($2,500) for when documentation fees may apply, replacing previous fee structures.
