How much does it cost?

The plate is available now to anyone who pays a onetime $25 fee for the highway users tax fund, an annual $50 fee to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) cash fund, and a onetime $25 fee for the Colorado DRIVES vehicle services account. So, for the first year, the plate costs you approximately $118 (after a few other small fees), then $50 annually thereafter. It’s that annual $50 that will make all the difference for Colorado’s wolves and ranchers.
