        321.26  MULTIPLE REGISTRATION PERIODS AND
      ADJUSTMENTS.
         1.  There are established twelve registration periods for the
      registration of vehicles by the county treasurer.  Each registration
      period shall commence on the first day of each calendar month
      following the month of the birth of the owner of the vehicle and end
      on the last day of the twelfth month.
         2.  The county treasurer may adjust the renewal or expiration date
      of vehicles when deemed necessary to equalize the number of vehicles
      registered in each twelve-month period or for the administrative
      efficiency of the county treasurer's office.  The adjustment shall be
      accomplished by delivery of a written notice to the vehicle owner of
      the adjustment and allowance of a credit for the remaining months of
      the unused portion of the annual registration fee, rounded to the
      nearest whole dollar, which amount shall be deducted from the annual
      registration fee due at the time of registration.  Upon receipt of
      the notification the owner shall, within thirty days, surrender the
      registration card and registration plates to the county treasurer of
      the county where the vehicle is registered, except that the
      registration plates shall not be surrendered if validation stickers
      or other emblems are used to designate the month and year of
      expiration of registration.  Upon payment of the annual registration
      fee, less the credit allowed for the remaining months of the unused
      portion of the annual registration fee, the county treasurer shall
      issue a new registration card and registration plates, validation
      stickers, or emblems which indicate the month and year of expiration
      of registration.
         3.  Vehicles subject to registration which are owned by a person
      other than a natural person shall be registered for a registration
      year as determined by the county treasurer.
