321.105 - ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE REQUIRED.

        321.105  ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE REQUIRED.
         1.  An annual registration fee shall be paid for each vehicle
      operated upon the public highways of this state unless the vehicle is
      specifically exempted under this chapter.  If a vehicle, which has
      been registered for the current registration year, is transferred
      during the registration year, the transferee shall reregister the
      vehicle as provided in section 321.46.
         2.  The annual registration fee shall be paid to the county
      treasurer at the same time the application is made for the
      registration or reregistration of the motor vehicle or trailer.  An
      owner may, when applying for registration or reregistration of a
      motor vehicle or trailer, request that the plates be mailed to the
      owner's post office address.  The owner's request shall be
      accompanied by a mailing fee as determined annually by the director
      in consultation with the Iowa county treasurers association.
         3.  Upon application by a financial institution, as defined in
      section 422.61, and approval of the application by the county
      treasurer, the county treasurer in any county may authorize the
      financial institution to receive applications for renewal of vehicle
      registrations and payment of the annual registration fees.  The
      annual registration fees shall be delivered to the county treasurer
      at the time the county treasurer has processed the vehicle
      registration application.  Annual registration fees received with
      vehicle registration applications shall be designated as public funds
      only upon receipt of such funds by the county treasurer from the
      financial institution.
         4.  In addition to the payment of an annual registration fee for
      each trailer and semitrailer to be issued an annual registration
      plate, an additional registration fee may be paid for a period of two
      or four subsequent registration years.
         5.  Seriously disabled veterans who have been provided with an
      automobile or other vehicle by the United States government under the
      provisions of § 1901--1903, Title 38 of the United States Code, 38
      U.S.C. § 1901 et seq. (1970), shall be exempt from payment of the
      registration fee provided in this chapter for that vehicle, and shall
      be provided, without fee, with one set of regular registration plates
      or one set of any type of special registration plates associated with
      service in the United States armed forces for which the disabled
      veteran qualifies under section 321.34.  The disabled veteran, to be
      able to claim the benefit, must be a resident of the state of Iowa.
      In lieu of the set of regular or special military registration plates
      available without fee, the disabled veteran may obtain a set of
      nonmilitary special registration plates or personalized plates issued
      under section 321.34 by paying the additional fees associated with
      those plates.
