Ohio drivers will pay more at the BMV in 2026—service fees will increase from $5 to $8, registration fees will rise from $11 to $16, title fees will go up by $3 and counties may add an extra $5.
The state budget will also end the exemption for 18- to 20-year-olds, so driver training will be required for everyone under 21.
