I need to register a vehicle/ renew my registration, but DMV says I need a release from the tax office. What do I do?
Answer
Since all unpaid Motor Vehicles are reported to the DMV by the tax office, you must pay any and all Motor Vehicle taxes under your name by cash or a certified check in order to be cleared electronically by the tax office.
Any back taxes paid with a personal check will not be released for TEN days from the date the check was deposited.
