How much do car tags cost in Ohio?

I’m getting a new car, but I’d like to be responsible about it. I’m trying to set a budget, but it’s impossible without knowing all the extra costs and fees involved—like registration and car tax. How much do car tags usually cost in Ohio?

Ohio
is a great place to live. The state fees surrounding new cars are also fairly low! In total, you’ll need to pay an average of $31-$100 to get your car tags.
While that may not answer your question completely, Ohio has a mandatory state fee of $31 and a county fee that ranges from $0-$30 depending on your location. But remember, that’s just a baseline. You may need to pay additional fees for processing, license plates, or third-party transactions. Altogether, your registration fee could be over $100.
To find a more specific number, visit the Ohio state website and use their registration calculator to get a fair estimate of your fees. If you’re worried about the cost of registration, find other ways to save on
