Why are the fees displaying online different from the amounts printed on my aircraft renewal notice?

Your fees on online may be different from the amount printed on your aircraft renewal notice due to one or all of these reasons:

  • A penalty fee is assessed when a payment is not received by the last day of February. The penalty fee is $25 for the first month and $5 for each succeeding month until fees are paid.
  • If you are renewing the aircraft late and the next-year registration fees have been assessed, then the fees displayed online will be prior year, current year and any accrued penalty fees.
