Alabama law requires renewal registration of vehicles each
year. A registrant's vehicle tax year is determined on a staggered basis
and is based on the registrant's first letter of his last name.

Residents of Limestone County need one of the following items to renew
registration:
- Courtesy Mail Renewal Notice, or
- Previous Year's Tag And Tax Registration Receipt, or
- Alabama Metal Tag Number, and
- Alabama Driver License Number, and
- Mandatory Insurance Compliance Signature
Each of the first three items above display a registrant's renewal month and
serve as renewal reminders for vehicle owners. A mail reminder is sent to the
owner's last known county address at the beginning of the scheduled renewal
month. It is the owner's responsibility to renew his vehicle registration during
the designated month, even if the courtesy reminder does not arrive by mail.
An Alabama resident who moves to our county from another Alabama county, will
be required to register his vehicle in Limestone County. The current tag and tax
registration receipt copy, or the courtesy mail renewal notice received from the previous county, should be
brought to our office for registration in
this county. The registered owner should also
bring their Alabama driver license.
The best time to renew your tag in person is between the 11th and 25th of the
month. Mondays and Fridays are high activity days in the office, along
with the first working day following holidays.
The standard license plate undergoes a design change every five years. A new
design was introduced by Governor Bob Riley for distribution beginning January 1, 2009.
