What does an IFTA license cost in Maryland?

As a base-state credential, Maryland charges no fee for the IFTA license itself — No annual renewal fee; two-decal set issued per qualified vehicle (decal fee not published). This is separate from the fuel tax you settle on your quarterly IFTA return.

Weight- or dimension-based charges are shown as their formula. IRP figures are the published full-year fee at ~80,000 lbs, which IRP prorates by mileage — not a flat amount owed. Confirm the current figure with the linked agency before you file.

Federal fees also apply everywhere

Whatever state you run in, federal credentials apply on top of Maryland's fees: your USDOT number (free), MC operating authority ($300 per authority type), the annual Unified Carrier Registration, and the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (Form 2290). A brand-new carrier's full first-90-days list is in the new MC authority checklist.
