There are significant changes in 2024 that impact the operation of registered vehicle dealers in Vermont.
myDMV Online Portal The myDMV portal serves as the comprehensive platform for dealers to manage their Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) accounts from a single location. Once your online profile is set up, you'll gain access to a range of features for viewing and managing your various DMV accounts. The available online transaction options will vary depending on the types of accounts you hold. You'll find sections where you can pay outstanding balances and access information about dealer sales registered in Vermont through the DMV. As a vehicle or motorboat dealer, you can utilize the "Order Supplies" hyperlink in the vehicle dealer account panel to request essential items such as temporary plates, title reassignments, and other supplies. If your dealer license is part of the metal plate program, you can also order metal plates through this portal.
Fees The Vermont legislature increased fees on nearly every transaction at the DMV. These fee increases are effective as of January 1, 2024. The 2024 fee schedule can be found here.
Application Update The DMV Registration Tax and Title Application (VD-119) has been updated. Download the document here. These were done to simplify data entry into the new myDMV online system for dealers. Notable differences between the new and old versions of the form include changes to section numbers, a realignment of item order and a revised "Co-Owner/Lessor" section. The DMV has incorporated options for one-year, two-year (available for all registrations), and five-year registrations (limited to Trailers and Municipal vehicles). While these options aren't new, the old application did not clearly indicate their availability. Additionally, minor edits have been made to related forms such as the Bill of Sale & ODS (VT-005), Replacement Registration (VD-040), and Title applications (various form numbers). As these forms are modified, they will be added to the public website and made available from the DMV stockroom upon request. The DMV has requested that dealers begin using the new version of the registration application by January 1, 2024.
Titles Vermont's title law has changed significantly. As of January 1, 2024, Vermont will title all vehicles (including Motorboats, ATVs, and snowmobiles) regardless of age. The "15-year exemption" goes away on December 31, 2023. Other exemptions to the title laws remain unchanged. Click here to download the Affadavit for Non-Titled Vehicles
