These changes reflect broad adjustments made in the state budget, and dealers should be prepared for their financial and workflow impacts as they take effect. LOOKING AHEAD Dealers should ensure all staff are fully familiar with the new fee structure so that questions can be answered accurately at every stage of the sales and registration process. Clear internal communication, paired with updated paperwork, signage and digital tools, will help minimize confusion for both employees and customers. Maintaining transparency about state-mandated fees not only helps avoid delays and transaction errors but also supports a smoother, more professional customer experience. As these changes take effect, proactive preparation will be the key to keeping operations running efficiently and preserving customer confidence in your dealership.
