The gross weight license expiration date is the same as the registration expiration date. Gross weight fees are paid for the same number of months as the registration.
You, the owner, have two options:
The effective date of the gross weight license must be the first month the new registration is effective. Example: If the vehicle expiration is March 9, and the vehicle registration is purchased prior to April 9, the effective date is March 10. If the registration is purchased June 15, the effective date is June 10, etc. When there is a partial month between the requested effective date of the gross weight license and the expiration date of the gross weight license, gross weight fees are charged for a full month.
If the vehicle registration date is the thirty-first, the monthly gross weight will expire on the last calendar day of those months having fewer than thirty-one days.
