Wright County unanimously approves MDRA resolution urging state revenue-sharing for local DMVs
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2655 asking the 2027 state legislature to share online and mail-in filing-fee revenue with deputy registrars to sustain local DMV offices; commissioners said loss of fee revenue threatens local services.
A representative of the Minnesota Deputy Registrar's Association presented a resolution to Wright County commissioners asking the 2027 state legislature to share a portion of filing-fee revenue generated by online and mail-in transactions with local deputy registrar offices.
The presenter described how state-run online and mail services have reduced local filing-fee revenue and increased financial pressure on local DMVs. "Our goal is to establish a permanent revenue sharing fund with the state to help address the rising costs of operating a DMV," the presenter said. Chair and commissioners expressed support and urged constituents to contact legislators.
The board moved to approve Resolution 2655 and adopted it by unanimous voice vote. Commissioners noted that many fees are set by the legislature and that sharing some efficiency savings from online services would help maintain in-person options and prevent local office closures.
