Summary

The Board approved Resolution 2025-585 to increase the county title administration fee from $8 to $10 to reduce the DMV's operating shortfall and avoid using property-tax revenue.

Chief Deputy Dyson Savage presented a proposed increase to the county title administration fee from $8 to $10. Savage said the auditor recommended the change after county DMV operations showed a shortfall of about $90,000, and compared the proposed fee to neighboring counties (Shoshone and Bonner at $10). Savage said the increase is intended to keep the DMV from operating in the red and reduce reliance on property tax.

No members of the public spoke for or against the fee at the public hearing. After a brief discussion, a motion to approve Resolution 2025-585 passed with all commissioners voting aye.
