Latest DOL scam... Anyone purchase tabs in the recent past and notice the additional "weight fee" they are charging for cars now? Just renewed my GTO tabs yesterday and noticed the $10 fee, so I checked with the DOL and according to them there was a new weight fee schedule enacted early this year - basically anything weighing 0-4000lbs gets the $10 fee and then it escalates from there.
These Olympia ******** are going to have their $1000 tabs back before we know it...

Every time we vote down something the state makes money on, it comes back and bites us in the azz. Little bits at a time, next thing ya know where right back where we started, and our tax dollars pay for the people that do it to us.

I guess the truck and Vibe are under or something, it still cost the same to get 18 month tabs as the last time.
We also had to quit proving we aren't in the RTA anymore - they seemed to have figured that out after 10 years
Guess its time to search licensing to see what legislature pushed through while we were sleeping. I always wonder about their midnight sessions.......

Ellis, I'm Snohomish Co. - don't know the bounds. This is the first time I've run across it. When I renewed my Camaro tabs back in April I'm almost positive I didn't pay this fee, but who knows. They told me that it came into effect in January...

I just got the TA licsensed (SP? 
) almost 4 months ago and didn't notice anything like that on there. Was for Steven's county though, remember we don't have emissions either too! 
Would imagine something like that would have been state wide imposed though.

Also, this info from the Klickitat Co. website does note the 0-4000lb info. Breakdown of the $43.75 is $30 tabs
, $3 filing fee, $0.75 service fee, and $10 weight fee. Of course this assumes no RTA or other BS.http://www.klickitatcounty.org/audit...cted=916462010

Ok, here we go. Just found this on the wa.gov site and it explains it pretty thoroughly. Looks like it dates back to last year - damn, I'm behind the times...
