How Delaware calculates registration

A single flat $40 covers passenger cars up to 5,000 pounds. Delaware has no sales tax on vehicles but charges a document fee based on the purchase price instead. Alternative fuel fees took effect October 2025 and scale with both weight and fuel type.

Renewal cycle: annual.
