The registration fee for license plates in Arkansas is around $17.00 per year for most passenger cars and any vehicle weighing 3,000 lbs or less.
For vehicles that weigh 3,001 to 4,500 pounds the vehicle registration fee is $25.00 per year which is still pretty cheap.
I plan to retire back to Arkansas where it's cheaper to live than most other states and the registration fees on vehicles are cheaper as well.
You can cheaply register your vehicle and even renew your vehicle registration and another benefit of renewing your vehicle registration in Arkansas is you can skip going to the DMV and just renew your vehicles registration at Walmart.
