Ontario licence plate renewal fees, stickers to be scrapped
CTV
The Ontario government is scrapping licence plate renewal fees and corresponding stickers for passenger vehicles, light duty trucks, motorcycles and mopeds effective March 13.
The measure will save many Ontario drivers about $120 a year.
The announcement was made in Richmond Hill alongside Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Government and Consumer Services Ross Romano and Associate Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction Nina Tangri.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday morning, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the government will issue refunds to Ontarians any licence plate renewal fees paid since March 2020. More than 7.5 million residents will receive a refund, officials said.
To receive a refund, drivers will have to ensure their address is up to date on the provincial website and that they've paid any outstanding traffic tickets by March 7.
