The Greeley County Treasurer's Office is an agent for the State of Kansas for registering and titling motor vehicles. We issue license plates upon receipt of proper documentation and submission of the correct fees. The fees include registration fees, personal property taxes, title fees, and sales tax, if applicable. Each year the State sends out courtesy reminders six weeks prior to the expiration date of the license plate. It is a state law that every vehicle has proper insurance coverage before the vehicle can be registered. We handle the initial titling of vehicles in Greeley County, as well as the annual renewals. Once a vehicle is purchased, the new owner has 30 days in which to bring their documentation into our office to be processed. If the purchase is an out-of-state title, the owner of the vehicle needs to have a vehicle identification inspection completed. This is done at the Greeley Police Department for a charge of $10.00 in cash only. Inspections should be done by appointment. The license plates in Kansas expire based on the first letter in the last name of the first person on the title.

Q. How much will it
cost to register my vehicle?
A.
| Title Fees | $10.00 |
| Repossession Title Fees | $13.00 |
| Transfer Fees | $4.50 |
| Registration: | |
| Autos less than 4500 lbs. | $33.00 |
| Autos over 4500 lbs. | $43.00 |
| 12M Trucks | $43.00 |
| Motorcycles | $19.00 |
| Motorbikes | $14.00 |
| Trailers: | |
| 2000 - 8000 | $18.00 |
| 8001 - 1200 | $28.00 |
| 12001 and over | $38.00 |
a. If the weight of the trailer and the load
combined is less than 2,000 pounds, registration is optional. If
a farm trailer hauling the farmer's own product has a load of less
than 6,000 pounds, registration is optional. For fees on trucks
with gross weight of over 16,000 pounds, call the County Treasurer's
Office.
b. Property tax is paid
at the time of registration/title application and is determined
in the County Treasurer's Office. The exceptions are heavy trucks,
trailers, and mopeds, whose taxes are determined by the County Appraiser's
Office.
c. Reflectorized plate
fee is $0.50.
d. Sales tax will be collected
in the tag office if the vehicle is bought from an individual or
purchased out of state. The sales tax rate is 6.3% plus a $0.50
collection fee.
e. The fee to transfer a tag is $12.50 plus
the difference in the property tax.
Q. What do I need to know about
transferring a tag from one vehicle to another?
A. The fee to transfer is $12.50 plus the difference
in the property tax. The names on the two titles must be the same.
If the old tag is expired, it can only be transferred if it is a
personalized tag. If this is your renewal month, your fees will
be the same as a new tag minus the $0.50 plate fee. The old vehicle
must be sold or traded in, even if it is not running. As long as
the title is still in your name, the plate must stay with it.
Q. I'm moving to Kansas from another
state; how do I register my vehicle?
A. If you have the title, you need to bring
in the title, the vehicle inspection, and the proof of insurance.
The person who is named on the title is the only person who can
register the vehicle. If two names appear on the title with and/or
between the names, only one person has to come in. If two names
are on the title with and between them, both persons must
come in. All vehicles coming from out of state must have a VIN inspection
from the Greeley County Sheriff's Office. The cost is $10.00 in
cash. If
you do not have the title because the lienholder of that state keeps
it until the vehicle is paid for, you will need to come to the Greeley
County Treasurer's Office with your out-of-state registration or
a nonnegotiable title. We will also need your proof of insurance.
We will then title the vehicle. The State will write to your lienholder
and request the out-of-state title. You will receive a letter to
get an inspection done at the Greeley County Sheriff's Department.
You will need to send the pink copy back to the State and the Kansas
title will be sent to your lienholder.
Q. What papers will I need
to title a newly-purchased vehicle?
A. You will need the title or MSO (if it's
a new car), signed and notarized over to you, the sales tax
receipt or notarized bill of sale, the car's current mileage,
and your proof of insurance. When transferring a tag between
two cars, you need the current registration or tag number of
the old car and the name and address of the person to whom the
vehicle was sold.
Q. What are your office hours?
A. The Tag Office is open between 9 a.m.
and 5 p.m. MST, including lunch hour, Monday through Friday.
The office stops doing vehicle business at 4:00 p.m. MST in
order to run reports and balance the day's business.
Q. Where are you located?
A. The Tag Office is located at the Greeley
County Courthouse at 208 Harper, Tribune, Ks 67879.
Q. Where can I get my vehicle
inspected, and during what hours?
A. All out-of-state title for used vehicles
(and Kansas Non-Highway vehicles) require inspection. The fee
is $10.00 in CASH ONLY and can be done at the Greeley County
Sheriff Department.
Q. How can I renew my tags
if I didn't get a renewal notice in the mail?
A. Take your registration or tag number
and proof of insurance to the Greeley County Treasurer's Office,
and they will be able to process your renewal.
Q. How can I get a refund,
and what forms will I need?
A. Bring in your tag, current owner's registration,
Social Security number (for a personal vehicle) or Federal ID#
(for business or lease vehicles), and name and address of the
person to whom the vehicle was sold. Refunds are calculated
from the month they are received.
Q. Where can I get a power
of attorney / lienholder consent / bill of sale, etc.?
A. These tag forms and many others are
available on this web page in the Vehicle
Tag Forms
box. You will need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader to view
and/or print these forms. This is a free download, and the site
can be accessed from the Vehicle Tag Forms box above.
Q. My tag was stolen. What
do I do?
A. You will need to report the plate stolen
to the Sheriff's Office. Bring the tag number and proof of insurance,
and we will replace the tag for $3.00.
Q. How do I get a personalized
tag?
A. The price for personalized
tags
is $44.00, in addition to other fees and personal property taxes.
You will also need to fill out a Personalized
Tag Form.
Q. What will happen if I have
delinquent taxes?
A. If you have delinquent personal property
taxes in ANY county in Kansas, they MUST be paid before vehicles
can be tagged in any Kansas county.
Q. How can I pay for my tags?
A. Acceptable forms of payment are cash,
check, money order, and cashier's check.
Q. Where can I go to renew
my handicapped placard? Where do I mail it?
A. This is done at the Greeley County Treasurer's
Office in the County Courthouse.
Q. Do my tags expire on the
first day or the last day of the month?
A. Auto, truck, and motorcycle tags expire
on the last day of each month, with the exception of heavy trucks
(over 12,000 lbs.) and trailers, which expire Dec. 31 with a
grace period until Feb. 15.
Q. Why aren't my tags good
for a full year?
A. Tag renewals are good for a full year.
Tags for vehicles bought new within the year will be good for
the period between the purchase date and the expiration date;
in some cases this will be for just a partial year. Tags
are prorated from the month the title is notarized until the
month your tag comes due, which is determined by your last name.
