KSL Investigates: Change in Utah Motor Home Registration Fees Leaves Some Parked
MURRAY — With travel restricted by the pandemic, thousands of Utahns are turning to the RV market for family adventures. But the KSL Investigators found a recent law change has some experiencing sticker shock when they register their motor home.
“It’s just – it’s insane,” Lynne O’Donnell said about the bill she got from the state of Utah to register her motor home. “In 2018, it was $142.75. In 2019, it was $488.25.”
That 350 percent jump in registration fees in just one year kept O’Donnell’s RV plans parked.
She called the state, thinking there had been some sort of mistake.
“They said they can’t do anything,” she said.
That’s when she reached out to the KSL Investigators.
