Special Permit Wizard

Use the Special Permit Wizard to create special permits for limited highway operation for vehicles that are exclusively used for off-highway purposes, such as, a back hoe, crane, or tractor.  You can issue a special permit to move a vehicle that generally is not registered for road use.  Special permits for off-highway vehicles are assigned a class code of SP.  A MVR-3 registration form does not print for this permit, instead you will manually type a MVR-10 form.  In addition, the information prints on the Exception Report.

Notes:  

• The expiration date for the special permit must be March 1, and year less than one year away from today's date.  No matter when the certificate is processed, it will always expire the next March.

• A special permit is never half rated.

• The fee for a special permit is $27.  In addition, a municipal agent fee of $1 is charged for the special permit.

• Towns can issue special permits if they are authorized to process at Code 1(B) (Limited New Registration) level or higher.

• Special permit fees are accumulated and listed on the Town Summary Report under the Special Permits total column.

• For general information about using wizards, see the Wizard - Introduction.
