Gazetted fees only
Every amount comes from a province's fee schedule or the RTMC regulations. Where we could not verify a province, we say “coming soon” instead of guessing.
Your province, your tare
Licence fees depend on where the vehicle is registered and its tare (empty mass). Compare all provinces side by side.
