In 1984, county commissioners provided for 75 percent of the first municipal permissive tax collected on vehicle registrations be returned to municipalities.
Most vehicle owners in the county now pay permissive motor vehicle license taxes of $20, the limit until a new law took effect last June.
Commissioners also set dates for two public hearings required to implement another $5 fee, which would raise annual assessment to $25 for many on top of the base passenger vehicle registration of $34.50 a year.
Here's where some of the money is going in 2018 and what projects are being funded.
Where vehicle license fees go
Seventy-five percent of the first permissive tax collected on vehicle registrations in Montgomery County is distributed to municipalities for road projects. The remaining 25 percent is spent at the discretion of the commmission on bridges and village projects. Municipalities typically save annual distributions until enough money accumulates to fund a project.
