Vehicle Registration St. Croix

Maybe they have to send all of them back to cop school.

GOOD one...saugage!!!LOL

Mr. Sausage please.

I've learned not to ask questions like this anymore. There are no sensible answers, especially from government employees. I'd just smile and pay.

Unless it was after hours there should be no charge.I don't even think there would be one after hours.

I would call it to the attention of Mr. Olive (pronounced Oleeve) as he runs BMV and ask him directly about the charge. He's in the STT BMV.

So did the "supervisor" refund you the $4? Did you have a fully itemized computer generated receipt for $49? Or maybe the $4 cash was for the girls pot:D

There is a schedule of rates on the wall right next to the cashier. Was that charge listed?

I paid an extra fee this year for registration on Stt. I think it was $4 or $5. Plus registration fees went up this year.
I know because I didn't have enough cash on me. I had enough cash from last year's registration fees.
I'll check my receipts to be exact.

hubby was surprised by the increase as well

annual registration - Truck: $72.00

vehicle inspection fee $15.00

GENERAL FUND FEES TO POTF $4.00

What a crock of BS that is !

Maybe someone could, as suggested earlier, just call Commissioner Olive's office and obtain clarification?

Vehicle Registration Fees

2013
~Annual Registration
$43.00
~Inspection Fee
$10.00
~Total = $53.00

2014
~A.R.
$43.00
~I.F.
$10.00
~General Fund Fees to POTF = $4.00
~Total = $57.00

2015
~A.R.
$48.00
~I.F.
$15.00
~General Fund Fees to POTF = $4.00
~Total = $67.00

As you can see where the BMV added the $4.00 POTF Fee in 2014.
In 2015, vehicle registration increased $5.00 and inspection increased $5.00. Plus the POTF Fee.

alana, you could fill many many crocks with all the bs here

Amen to that!

Between the outrageous spending of Mapps and the VI Legislature, well be seeing more increases to fund that spending.

Room Tax just went up to 12.5% from 10%which they raised in 2010 from 8%.

That'll help improve the tourism industry, not.

so what is POTF? President of Territory Funding...

They have a Senior discount for vehicle registration?? At what age ??!!!
Thank you !!

If you're 60 or over you register with the Department of Human Services to receive a senior citizen card which entitles you to many discounts island-wide. You can download the application here:

Thank you Old Tart.
And do you know..... does Motor Vehicles give a discount on vehicle registrations with this card??

Yes.
It affords you discounts on registration fee, groceries at Plaza Extra and Pueblo, ferry rides, movies, some drugstores and other places. You have to get used to asking as they don't often post anywhere that discounts are available.

Thank you Old Tart.
And do you know..... does Motor Vehicles give a discount on vehicle registrations with this card??

Yes, a 50% discount. Once you register the car with the discount you don't need to present your card again every year as they note it on the registration.

When you get your card (really simple procedure and all done at once) they'll give you a sheet with the up to date listing of businesses which offer the discounts.  One other nice additional bonus is a discount on propane cooking gas. Every little helps!

Not everything is listed on the sheet they give you so it pays to ask.

so what is POTF? President of Territory Funding...

I believe it stands for Peace Officer Training Fund.
