One-time charges apply only to a first registration or ownership transfer, not to annual renewals.
At $40 for two years the registration fee is among the lowest anywhere, but South Carolina counties bill an annual vehicle property tax that dwarfs it, and that tax must be paid before you can renew.
Renewal cycle: biennial.
