Following the signing of the toll increase resolution by Secretary of Transportation Shanté Hastings and the passage of HB 164 by the Delaware General Assembly, the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) has begun work to implement the toll increases and new DMV fees. These increases will provide the department with an estimated $107 million annually in additional revenue to support needed investments in infrastructure statewide.

Starting Wednesday, October 1, 2025, DMV fees will increase, including a 1% increase to the document fee for vehicle transactions.

The new annual alternative fuel vehicle registration fee that will be applicable to more than 48,000 vehicles registered in the state will also begin on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

The new fees for these vehicles are available in the attachment and more information on how that fee will be collected will be forthcoming closer to the implementation date.
