August 2012 Vehicle Registration Renewal Deadline Extended for Mobile and Baldwin Counties
MVTRIP Montgomery—The Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) announced today that the August 2012 motor vehicle registration renewal deadline has been extended through Sept. 14, 2012, for vehicle owners residing in Mobile and Baldwin counties due to the effects of Hurricane Isaac.
State Revenue Commissioner Julie P. Magee issued the motor vehicle registration and property tax extension order Aug. 30, 2012, extending the normal Aug. 31 deadline through Sept. 14, 2012, for owners residing in Mobile and Baldwin counties. Anyone renewing his or her vehicle’s annual August registration during this extended period and who is a resident of Mobile or Baldwin County will not be subject to delinquent registration penalty charges. Alabama’s registration and property tax laws do not provide any relief provisions for the waiver of interest charges.
The August registration renewal extension also applies to individuals who have recently purchased or otherwise acquired a vehicle, but have not registered their newly-acquired vehicle within the 20-day registration period due to the weather conditions caused by Hurricane Isaac.
The extension order does not apply to vehicle registrations and renewals for vehicles registered under the International Registration Plan (IRP) because these registration fees are paid directly to the ADOR. The extension order does, however, apply to the payment of property taxes on IRP vehicles because those taxes are paid at county tax collection offices.
