Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 13:18-2.4 - Mileage and registration fee calculation

(a) Based upon the application, the Motor Vehicle Commission shall determine the in-jurisdiction miles and the total miles to be used in computing the apportioned registration fee for the fleet vehicle(s) as follows:

1. Divide each state's in-jurisdiction miles by the total miles generated during the preceding year;

2. Determine the total fees required under the laws of each jurisdiction for registration of each vehicle;

3. Multiply the sum obtained under (a)2 above by the quotient obtained under (a)1 above;

4. If the applicant is estimating operation in a jurisdiction for a second or subsequent year, the registrant shall pay a mileage percentage that is in excess of the 100 percent registration miles and fees for that jurisdiction(s);

5. If the registrant adds a vehicle after the beginning of the registration year, the mileage percentage used in the original application for the fleet shall be used to calculate the regular registration fees due with respect to such vehicle(s);

6. If the applicant adds a jurisdiction(s) in which no miles were accrued during the previous reporting period, the mileage percentage shall be calculated as follows:

i. The estimated miles for the added jurisdiction(s) shall be added to the applicant's total fleet miles;

ii. The estimated miles for the added jurisdiction(s) shall be divided by the sum obtained in (a)6i above to obtain the mileage percentage for the added jurisdiction;

7. If the applicant for an additional jurisdiction accrued miles in such jurisdiction during the preceding year, the calculation for mileage percentage(s) shall be the same as (a)6 above, except that the estimated mileage for the added jurisdiction shall be equal to or greater than the actual mileage accrued in the preceding year;

8. If an applicant has withdrawn a vehicle from an apportioned fleet and is replacing that vehicle with one that is of the same weight class/category and all jurisdictions are the same, a transfer of plates shall be permitted upon application to the Commission. When a replacement vehicle is of a greater weight category, the mileage percentage shall be calculated pursuant to this subsection;

9. The applicant shall furnish accurate mileage and weight information. The Commission may adjust a mileage estimate if not satisfied with its accuracy, and may deny registration for vehicles when the registration weight requested does not reflect standard operating practices.
