How can I complete my motor vehicle transaction and help to decrease the county tax burden?
Keep your business local. When you choose to conduct business with the Oswego County DMV offices, the county receives 12.7% of most transactions. Regardless of where you do your transaction the fees are all the same, so make your money work harder for you by keeping it in the county! Each year the Oswego County Clerk’s office is able to return over $1.5 million to Oswego County because our citizens and neighbors choose to do business at their local DMV.
Current state legislation is being proposed to increase the county’s percentage from 12.7% to 25%. If this legislation is signed into law by the Governor, the revenue returned to the county will double without changing the fees you already pay!
