§ 47-1126. Repossessed vehicle - Registration

A. At any time that a mortgagee repossesses a vehicle on which

the registration has become delinquent as of the date of such

repossession, the mortgagee shall not be required, as a condition

for registration of said vehicle, to pay the penalties which had

accrued as of the date of such repossession otherwise prescribed in

this act. Provided that said penalties shall not be waived unless

such vehicle is registered by the mortgagee within five (5) days

after it is repossessed. Provided further, that if the mortgagor,

or spouse, becomes the owner of the vehicle within ninety (90) days

from the date of repossession, the penalty shall reattach and be

paid when the new title is applied for.

B. Upon each vehicle repossessed by a mortgagee, a fee of

Forty-six Dollars ($46.00) shall be assessed. This fee shall be in

lieu of any applicable vehicle excise tax and registration fees.

Each motor license agent accepting applications for certificates of

title for such vehicles shall receive Seven Dollars ($7.00) to be

deducted from the license fee specified in this subsection for each

application accepted.
