Vanity plate, specialty plateholders might pay additional surcharge

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 31, 2019 - 10:11pm

Canvassers will knock on Bluffton voter doors this week asking for signatures to place a voter-initiative on the November ballot.

The effort intends to replenish the Ohio Local Government Fund. If enough signatures are gathered and voters agree, the initiative places a surcharge on all Ohio vehicle owners who have vanity license plates, specialty plates, historical vehicle plates and motorcycle plates.

Although not yet confirmed, surcharge discussions range anywhere from $25 to $75 per plate, depending on the make, model and year of the vehicle, retroactive to 2013.
