Registration Fees Waived — Two Vehicles at 100%
A veteran rated 100% disabled — or paid at the 100% rate — registers two non-commercial vehicles exempt from all motor vehicle registration fees, and takes two sets of veteran special plates without the cemetery fee. Former POWs share the full waiver; a 50%+ veteran with a Purple Heart gets the registration fee waiver but still pays the cemetery fee. Unremarried surviving spouses keep each route.

Not sure whether that describes you?
Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.
How to claim it
- 1Register at the county treasurer with official documentation that you are currently rated 100% disabled — or paid at the 100% rate — for a service-connected disability. The waiver covers all registration fees on two vehicles not used commercially.
- 2The waiver also applies to any of the veteran special plate designs, and drops the veterans' cemetery fee on two sets — provided you meet that plate's own eligibility.
- 3A former POW (with service documentation) holds the same full waiver. A veteran rated 50% or more who holds a Purple Heart waives the registration fees but still pays the cemetery fee.
- 4An unremarried surviving spouse of a veteran in these groups — or of a service member killed on active duty or dead of a service-connected cause — keeps the waiver.

Why only one source type: The code section itself states every route, the two-vehicle limit and the cemetery-fee treatment; it was read directly on the legislature's site, and no separate agency page adds an operative term.
