You may renew your tag up until midnight on the last day of your renewal month, unless specified otherwise by your local county office.

PLEASE NOTE: If you attempt to renew on the last day, after the close of COUNTY business hours, then your renewal will be subject to late fees and penalty.

This usually takes 1 to 2 hours or the next business day if it is after 5 or the weekend.
