The Honorable County Judge
Re: Imposition of Optional Fees
Dear Honorable Judge:
The Commissioner's Court is statutorily required to notify the department when revising
the collection of optional county fees. Please review the attached 2009 Schedule of
County Road and Bridge Fees and Child Safety Fees by County.
If you plan to retain these same fees for calendar year 2010, please complete and
return OPTION A of the attached "Imposition of Optional Fees" form, or simply send a
"No Change" electronic reply to AskVTR(a~dot.state.tx.us .
If you plan to revise any of the optional fees for 2010, please complete and return
OPTION B and a copy of the Commissioner's Court Order.
Project Background:
Counties have the statutory authority under Chapter 502 of the Transportation Code to
impose optional local fees in addition to the registration fee. Vehicles registered with
certain plates not requiring a registration fee are exempt from these optional fees. The
following is a brief description of these local fees:
• County Road and Bridge Fee (Section 502.172):
• optional additional fee not to exceed $10,
• collected when registering a vehicle in the county
• used for the upkeep of county roads and bridges
Child Safety Fee (Section 502.173):
• optional additional fee of not less than 50 cents or more than $1.50
• collected when registering a vehicle in the county
• used to provide school crossing guard services
• remaining money used for programs to enhance child safety, health, or
nutrition including child abuse intervention and prevention and drug and
alcohol abuse prevention
