Vermont § 1415 - Transfer of weight permits

§ 1415. Transfer of weight permits

• (a) Weight permits issued pursuant to this subchapter may be transferred from one vehicle
  to another vehicle. If the permit fee of the motor vehicle for which a permit is
  sought is less than the permit fee for the transferred motor vehicle, the Commissioner
  shall certify to the Commissioner of Finance and Management the facts pertinent to
  the difference of the permit fees, giving the name of the owner of the motor vehicle,
  his or her address, the amount of the original permit fee paid, the date of application
  for transfer, and the correct fee for the motor vehicle for which the permit is sought.
  The Commissioner of Finance and Management shall issue his or her warrant in favor
  of the owner for the percent of the difference in permit fees as the unexpired term
  bears to the entire permit period. If the permit fee for the motor vehicle for which
  a permit is sought is greater than the permit issued to the transferred vehicle, the
  permit applicant shall pay the difference based on the prorated term remaining on
  the permit. If a transfer of the permit is made before the 15th day of any month,
  the transfer shall be considered as having been made on the first day of the month.
  If the transfer of a permit is made on or after the 15th day of any month, the transfer
  shall be considered as having been made on the first day of the month following the
  application for transfer. (b) Transfers issued pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall only be permitted
  if the applicant or an authorized representative appears at the Department of Motor
  Vehicles’ office in Montpelier. Such transfers shall be permitted by mail, if the
  transfer is between vehicles registered at the same weight. (Added 1987, No. 187 (Adj. Sess.), § 3.)
