HB 2601 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Addressing motorcycle weight fees.

HB 2601 establishes a new tiered fee structure for motorcycle registrations in Washington State, charging $15 for all motorcycles (regardless of weight) and increasing fees for heavier models (e.g., $35 for 4,000 pounds, $65 for 6,000 pounds, and $96 for 16,000 pounds or more). Motor homes will pay a flat $75 fee instead of the motorcycle-based fee. The state will use manufacturer-provided weight data to determine vehicle weight, and all fees will fund transportation projects. This new structure takes effect July 1, 2027, and expires January 1, 2029, after which a revised fee schedule becomes active.
