Vehicle Registration & Titles in Sumter County, AL
Here's what to expect at the Judge of Probate — fees, what to bring, and where to go.
In Alabama the county Judge of Probate issues vehicle tags (registration), titles, and renewals. The base annual fee for a passenger car is $23, an Alabama certificate of title is $15(plus a $1.50 agent fee), and an annual ad valorem (property) taxthat varies by the vehicle's value and your county is collected at renewal. Alabama uses a staggered renewal — your renewal month is set by the first letter of your last name (for example F, G, or N renew in April).
In some Alabama counties a separate License Commissioner (or Revenue Commissioner) handles tags and titles instead of the Probate office — call to confirm which office serves your county.
Your renewal notice (or license plate number / prior registration), proof of current Alabama liability insurance, and a driver license or state ID for the owner(s). Not receiving a notice doesn't excuse a late renewal.
