IRP registration fees by state (2026 full-fee reference)
By TruePermitReviewed by the TruePermit compliance teamUpdated
Under the International Registration Plan, you don't pay each state's full registration fee — you pay a single apportioned amount based on the share of miles you run in each member jurisdiction. The figures below are each state's published full-year fee at ~80,000 lbs: the reference number IRP then prorates by your mileage percentage. Use them to compare states and sanity-check an apportioned quote — not as a flat amount you owe. See the IRP apportioned registration guide for how apportionment works.

Figures are the published full-year registration fee at ~80,000 lbs, which IRP prorates by mileage — not a flat amount owed. Some states add ad-valorem or county fees (see row notes). Price your fleet through your base state's IRP calculator.
Here's the mechanics: IRP takes each jurisdiction's full registration fee for your vehicle's weight, multiplies it by the percentage of your total fleet miles driven in that jurisdiction, and sums the results into one invoice paid to your base state. So a state with a high full fee only costs you a lot if you run a lot of miles there.
Because the full fee schedules are long and weight-tiered, the table shows the published figure at the 80,000 lb tier as a common reference point. Some states publish this as a simple number; others (noted per row) build it from stacked components or an age-based schedule, and a few add separate ad-valorem or county fees on top. Always price your specific fleet through your base state's IRP calculator.

- How much does IRP registration cost?
- There's no single number — you pay an apportioned amount based on your mileage in each state. As a reference, the published full-year fee at 80,000 lbs ranges widely: roughly $840 in Texas, $907 in Wyoming, $998 in Oregon, up to about $2,935 in Pennsylvania. Your actual bill is these figures weighted by the share of miles you run in each state.
- Is the amount in the table what I'll pay?
- No. It's the full 100% fee at 80,000 lbs for that state. IRP prorates it by your mileage percentage, so if you run 20% of your miles in a state you pay roughly 20% of its fee. The table is for comparison and quote-checking.
- Which state do I register IRP in?
- Your base jurisdiction — generally where your business is established, where you have an address, and where your operational records are kept. You file the whole apportioned registration through that one state.
- Do these figures include every charge?
- No. Several states add separate fees — ad-valorem/property taxes, county fees, or diesel-differential fees — on top of the base registration. Those are noted per row where known; confirm the full breakdown with your base state.
