Rangely raises certified VIN inspection fee to $55 to match state increase
Summary
Council raised the certified VIN inspection fee from $54 to $55 to pass along a state fee increase; Hilda, the police department staff who performs certified inspections, said she completes about four to five a month and the town treats the fee as a pass-through.
The Rangely Town Council voted to amend the 2026 fee schedule to raise the certified vehicle-identification-number (VIN) inspection fee from $54 to $55 to align with the state's charge. Council members described the increase as a pass-through adjustment rather than a revenue-generating action.
Hilda, the police department staff member who performs certified VIN inspections, told the council she averages "between 4 and 5 a month" and described the certification process as requiring training; she said the class for certification lasts several days. Councilors acknowledged the town does not profit from the change and that the fee tracks state costs. The motion to amend the fee passed by voice vote.
