subsection (3)(b) or (c) of this section. A pressure-sensitive sticker

during the five (5) year period. If the owner fails to enter the rental
utility trailer on the annual renewal application during the five (5) year
period, the registration record shall be purged. Any unrenewed plate shall
be returned to the department if it is not entered on the renewal
application.
(5) A fleet registration option is available to owners who have
twenty-five (25) or more commercial or farm vehicles or any combination
thereof. Such owners may register all of their company vehicles with the
department in lieu of registering with a county assessor. To qualify the fleet
must be owned and operated under the unified control of one (1) person and the
vehicles must be physically garaged and maintained in two (2) or more
counties. Fleet registration shall not include fleets of rental vehicles. The
department shall provide a registration application to the owner and the owner
shall provide all information that the department determines is necessary. The
department shall devise a special license plate numbering system for
fleet-registered vehicles as an alternative to county license plates. The
fleet registration application and all subsequent registration renewals shall

the original owner may transfer the plate to another vehicle. The remaining
fee shall be credited against the cost of the new registration. Refunds may be
given for any unexpired portion of the vehicle registration fee if the plate
is not transferred by the owner to another vehicle. Any request for refund
shall include surrender of the license plate, validation sticker and
registration document. Owners of vehicles registered under the international
registration plan may request a refund of the unexpired portion of the Idaho
vehicle registration fee by presenting evidence from the base jurisdiction
that the license plate, validation sticker and registration document have been
surrendered. A license plate shall not be transferred to another owner when
the ownership of a vehicle changes. The owner shall obtain a replacement
plate, validation sticker if required, and a registration document when a
plate is lost, destroyed or becomes illegible.
(7) An administrative fee of four dollars ($4.00) shall be paid and
deposited to the state highway account on all registrations completed by the
department under subsection (1) or (8)(a) of this section. Vehicles registered
under subsection (8)(b) of this section shall pay the fee provided in section
49-435(2), Idaho Code.
(8) There shall be paid on all commercial and farm vehicles having a
maximum gross weight in excess of sixty thousand (60,000) pounds, a
registration fee based upon the maximum gross weight of a vehicle as declared
by the owner and the total number of miles driven on roads and highways in the
state, county, city and highway district systems in Idaho, and if registered
under the international registration plan (IRP), in all other jurisdictions.
The appropriate registration fee shall be determined as follows:
(a) If the owner registers vehicles under the international registration
plan (IRP), the appropriate mileage column shall be determined by the
total miles an owner operated a fleet of vehicles on roads and highways in
the state, county, city and highway district systems in Idaho and in all
other jurisdictions in the preceding year, as defined in section 49-117,
Idaho Code, and by the maximum gross weight of each vehicle within a
fleet.
(b) If the owner registers vehicles under the international registration
plan and determines that the average international registration plan fleet
miles, calculated by dividing the total IRP fleet miles in all
jurisdictions by the number of registered vehicles, is less than fifty
thousand one (50,001) miles, the owner may apply to the department for
refund of a portion of the registration fees paid, consistent with the fee
schedules set forth in this section. The department shall provide an
application for the refund. An owner making application for refund under
this section shall be subject to auditing as provided in section 49-439,
Idaho Code.
(c) If the owner is not registering vehicles under the international
registration plan, the appropriate mileage column shall be determined by
the total miles the owner operated each of the vehicles to be registered
on roads and highways in the state, county, city and highway district
systems in Idaho in the preceding year and by the maximum gross weight of
each vehicle.

weight. The permit so issued shall be specific to the motor vehicle to
which it is issued. No permit or fee shall be transferable or
apportionable to any other vehicle, nor shall any such fee be refundable.
(e) Any commercial or farm vehicle registered for more than sixty
thousand (60,000) pounds up to one hundred six thousand (106,000) pounds
traveling fewer than two thousand five hundred (2,500) miles annually on

apply to vehicles registered under this subsection (8)(e).
(9) (a) During the first registration year that the fee schedule in

immediately preceding year as the basis for determining the appropriate
registration fee schedule.
(b) Any owner who registers a motor vehicle for the first time and who
has no mileage history for the vehicle shall estimate the miles to
determine the appropriate fee schedule in subsection (8)(c) of this
section. When estimating the miles, the owner shall provide a statement on
the application of the method used to arrive at the estimated miles.
(c) Any owner using any fee schedule other than the highest fee schedule
under subsection (8)(c) of this section, shall certify at the time of
registration that the miles operated in the preceding year do not exceed
the schedule applied for. Any owner using a fee schedule under subsection
(8)(c) of this section that is less than the highest schedule shall

section, an additional use fee of 2.1 mills per mile for each two thousand
(2,000) pounds or fraction thereof of the maximum gross weight in excess of
those set forth in section 49-1001, Idaho Code. |
