My city/village/town/unincorporated village isn't listed. What should I do?
If you select a community that is unincorporated, in the county selected the e-MV Public application will change it to the nearest, largest community. This change will show on the Confirmation screen and on the receipt.
Why do I have to list where my vehicle is kept?

- collect county or municipal wheel taxes.
- assist local, state and federal government agencies study demographics and asses future public needs.
