RENEWAL PROCESS
A registration courtesy reminder is mailed for each vehicle that is currently registered in Lee County. The reminders are mailed the first few days of each renewal month. Although these courtesy reminders are mailed, it is still the responsibility of the vehicle owner to make sure the vehicle is registered and fees paid on time. Please bring your courtesy reminder or last registration with you when renewing in person. The drivers license number of the owner of record is also required.
Vehicles can be renewed via the mail. Mail the reminders along with a check or money order (be sure to include the mail fee for each vehicle) to the address shown on the reminder cards. Be sure to have the owner of record sign the cards and include their driver license number. In order for the renewal to be processed via the mail, the renewal card and payment must be in our office by the last working day of the month.
Vehicles that are renewed late are subject to a $15 late fee, plus applicable interest according to state law. Vehicles not driven during the expiration/renewal month may sign an affidavit of non-use. This affidavit exempts the customer from the late penalty. All ad valorem tax must be brought current regardless of use of vehicle.
The best time to renew your tag in person is between the 11th and 25th of the month. Mondays and Fridays are high activity days in the office, along with the first working day following holidays.
NEW RESIDENTS FROM ANOTHER ALABAMA COUNTY
Residents moving from another Alabama county will need to bring in the renewal reminder or the previous year's registration in order to obtain Lee county plates. You may wait until your renewal month to switch the registration.
