Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 60-397
If a motor vehicle or trailer has a salvage branded certificate of title issued as a result of an insurance company acquiring the motor vehicle or trailer through a total loss settlement, the prior owner of the motor vehicle or trailer who is a party to the settlement may receive a refund or credit of unused fees and taxes by (1) filing an application with the county treasurer within sixty days after the date of the settlement stating that title to the motor vehicle or trailer was transferred as a result of the settlement and (2) returning the registration certificate, the license plates, and, when appropriate, the validation decals or, in the case of the unavailability of the registration certificate, license plates, or validation decals, filing an affidavit with the county treasurer regarding the transfer of title due to the settlement and the unavailability of the certificate, license plates, or validation decals. The owner may receive a refund or credit of the registration fees and motor vehicle taxes and fees for the unexpired months remaining in the registration year determined based on the date when the motor vehicle or trailer was damaged and became unavailable for service. When the owner registers a replacement motor vehicle or trailer at the time of filing such affidavit, the credit may be immediately applied against the registration fee and the motor vehicle tax and fee for the replacement motor vehicle or trailer. When no such replacement motor vehicle or trailer is so registered, the county treasurer shall refund the unused registration fees. If the motor vehicle or trailer was damaged and became unavailable for service during the same month in which it was registered, no refund or credit shall be allowed for such month. When any such motor vehicle or trailer is reregistered within the same registration year in which its registration has been canceled, the taxes and fees shall be that portion of the registration fee and the motor vehicle tax and fee for the remainder of the registration year.
