Washington adds a weight fee to a flat $30 license fee. If your scale weight falls between the listed steps it is rounded up to the next one. These are the rates for registrations due on or after January 1, 2026; the weight fee rises again in 2029. Drivers inside the Sound Transit district pay a separate value-based excise tax.
