Courthouse Fees - Effective January 1, 2015

The DOL fees themselves are not changing, but a surcharge has been added to transactions performed at the Auditor’s Office/courthouse only. The surcharge amount collected from courthouse transactions will be transferred to a fund created to finance the maintenance and purchase of Washington State Ferries.

The ferry surcharge mirrors the amounts currently collected by private licensing subagent offices,$5.00 added to each registration renewal and $12.00 added to each transaction involving a change to the title. Fees charged at the courthouse will now be identical to those fees currently charged by private licensing offices. Your selection of location will determine whether the surcharge collected from your transaction will fund either the ferry system (courthouse transactions) or local private subagent businesses.
