I need to register my car. What do I do?

If you owe delinquent property taxes on any vehicle in your name, you may not renew any registrations or register a new vehicle at the Department of Motor Vehicles without paying your taxes first. All outstanding taxes in your name must be paid in full for a release to be issued. The DMV did away with the ‘stamp’ and paper clearance slips as of November 2015. All DMV clearances are now processed online electronically overnight. So, if you pay your taxes today, your clearance will be processed overnight, and you will be clear to register on the following business day. The exception to this are payments made on-line. These typically take 2 business days to clear DMV and payments made online on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays will not clear DMV until the following Tuesday, assuming that Monday is not a holiday.
