Registration Fee
Calculation
2.1 GVW Vehicle
Used in the Operations of a Common or Contract Carrier for Hire. For purposes
of this rule, a GVW Vehicle is deemed to be used in the operations of a common
or contract carrier for hire if the vehicle transported any cargo not owned by
the carrier for fifty percent or more of the total miles traveled by that
vehicle within the Registration Period Mileage Cycle pursuant to
42-3-306(5)(b)(II),
C.R.S.
a. Whether a GVW Vehicle is used in
the operations of a common or contract carrier for hire may be established by
submitting documentation at the time of registration proving ownership of all
cargo carried for the miles traveled by that vehicle within the previous
Registration Period Mileage Cycle. Documentation may be bills of sale,
manufacturing documentation, or other documents deemed acceptable by the
Department.
b. A GVW Vehicle
registered for the first time that does not have documentation proving carrier
type or mileage history will be registered as a common or contract carrier for
hire travelling ten thousand miles or more. Upon registration renewal, if it is
demonstrated that the GVW Vehicle is not a common or contract carrier and/or
travelled less than ten thousand miles during the Registration Period Mileage
Cycle, the registrant may request that the Department credit the difference
between the registration fees paid and the renewal registration fees towards
the renewal registration fees. If not renewing registration, a refund of the
excess registration fee may be requested by submitting a request for refund to
the Department on form DR 2444 Statement of Fact with supporting
documentation.
2.2
Replacing a GVW Vehicle. A GVW Vehicle owner who is replacing an existing GVW
Vehicle may use the Mileage History of the GVW Vehicle being replaced as
qualification for the registration fees assessed on the new GVW Vehicle. For
the Mileage History to qualify, the existing GVW Vehicle must have been
registered and in operation for a full Registration Period Mileage
Cycle.
