These program fees are in addition to all other applicable annual registration fees, county administrative fees, and plate fees. All but $10.00 of the special program fees go to the Idaho Rangeland Resource Commission. This new license plate may only be displayed on passenger vehicles, light trucks with a gross vehicle weight of up to 26,000 pounds, motorhomes, and camper trailers – (excluding horse, car, and cargo trailers with living facilities).

These special plates can also be personalized with up to five letters and/ or numbers. The cost to personalize these plates is $25 in addition to both the special program fees and all other required annual registration and plate fees. The renewal fee for a personalized plate is an additional $15 per year.

Individuals can also purchase sample versions of the Idaho Rangeland license plates from the transportation department for $30. Twenty dollars of each sample plate sale goes to the plate’s special interest fund. Sample plates can be personalized at no additional cost; these plates cannot be displayed on motor vehicles, but they do make unique gifts for friends and family.
