        321.106  REGISTRATION FOR FRACTIONAL PART OF YEAR.
         1.  When a vehicle is registered under chapter 326 or a motor
      truck, truck tractor, or road tractor is registered for a combined
      gross weight exceeding five tons and there is no delinquency and the
      registration is made in February or succeeding months through
      November, the annual registration fee shall be prorated for the
      remaining unexpired months of the registration year.  A fee shall not
      be required for the month of December for a vehicle registered on a
      calendar year basis on which there is no delinquency.  However,
      except for a vehicle registered under chapter 326, when such a
      vehicle is registered in November, the vehicle may be registered for
      the remaining unexpired months of the registration year or for the
      remaining unexpired months of the registration year and for the next
      registration year, upon payment of the applicable registration fees.

         2.  When a vehicle is registered on a birth month basis and there
      is no delinquency and the registration is made in the month after the
      beginning of the registration year or succeeding months, the annual
      registration fee shall be prorated for the remaining unexpired months
      of the registration year.  A fee shall not be required for the month
      of the owner's birthday for a vehicle on which there is no
      delinquency.  However, when a vehicle registered on a birth month
      basis is registered during the eleventh month of the registration
      year, the vehicle may be registered for the remaining unexpired
      months of the registration year or for the remaining unexpired months
      of the registration year and for the next registration year, upon
      payment of the applicable registration fees.
         3.  If a fee computed under this section contains a fractional
      part of a dollar, the fee shall be computed to the nearest whole
      dollar.  A fee computed under this section shall not be less than
      five dollars.  The fee so computed shall be deemed to be the annual
      registration fee for the remainder of the registration year.
         4.  A reduction in the annual registration fee shall not be
      allowed by the department until the applicant files satisfactory
      evidence to prove that there is no delinquency in registration.
