Show i NOTICE The staggered registration program could cause some misunderstanding for ose whose registration expires In December. If registrations are not renewed In December and the taxpayer waits until January to register his vehicle, he will be subject to two years taxes Instead of one. This Is due to the fact that even though his registration expires in December, he is actually paying taxes for the calendar year 1979. In essence, he has had the benefit of a delayed payment. For those who purchased a vehicle in December of 1978, through the staggered registration program, the taxes are not paid until December 1979, however If taxes are not paid at that time and are paid In January, the two years taxes are due, one tax for 1979 and one for 1980 as January will become the new registration date. To avoid confusion the tax commission suggests the registrations due in December be renewed at that time. The commission offered this explanation regarding the staggered registration. The lien date has not been changed from January 1. This date Is actually the due date for the personal property taxes on vehicles, however, as a means of simplifying the assessing and collecting of such taxes, they are paid during the month the registraiton expires. In practice then, the taxes are due In January but paid when the taxpayer registers his vehicle. County Assessor Doyle Cottam Published in the Garfield County News Dec. 6, 13 and 20, 1979.
