How does an unpaid excise bill affect my registration and drivers licence?
According to the Supreme Judicial Court ruling in April 1996, cities and towns must issue a final notice to the taxpayer stating that they plan to ask the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to prohibit renewal of the registration until the excise bill is settled. The registrar may then prevent renewal of the vehicle registration along with the owner's driver's license until receiving notice that the bill has been paid.
