Late Fees

A newly purchased vehicle is subject to vehicle registration late fees 61 days after the purchase date.

Vehicle registration late fees are imposed when payment for renewing your vehicle is not received timely. With the exception of temporary permits, owners receive a one month grace period after their registration expires.

The $25-per-month late fee applies to any portion of the subsequent months for up to four months. The total amount assessed will not exceed the $100 late fee limit.

Refund Policy

It is the policy of the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder's Office to review a request for refund. A refund may be considered if credit can not be applied to another vehicle. The refund will include fees remitted by the customer for the current year's registration. Any prior fees (i.e., prior ownership tax or late fees) paid will not be refunded or credited.

Refunds for the Keep Colorado Wild Pass can be requested through Colorado Parks & Wildlife.

National Task Force on Election Reform

In May of 2005, the Election Center's National Association of Election Officials created a National Task Force on Election Reform. The Task Force consisted of local election officials from across the nation, including Larimer County Clerk and Recorder Scott Doyle. The result of their efforts was a comprehensive review of the 2004 General Election as well as a list of recommendations for election reform.
