Department Function: The Moffat County Motor Vehicle Department is responsible for titling, vehicle registration, and issuing license plates.

Requirements All motor vehicles and trailers owned or operated by Colorado residents must be titled and registered within 60 days of purchase or 30 days after becoming a resident of Moffat County. Colorado residency is established if you own or operate a business in Colorado, reside in Colorado continuously for 90 days or you obtain employment in Colorado. Proof of insurance is required at time of registration along with secure and verifiable identification. A letter of authorization or a corporate resolution to borrow/grant collateral letter granting permission for the agent to act on behalf of the company and the agent's secure and verifiable identification information are required for any business to complete a new registration transaction. Temporary Permits Temporary permits are issued as a temporary motor vehicle registration for up to 60 days. This gives the seller time to complete transfer of ownership documentation. The purchaser must show the original title, which has been transferred to them or a bill of sale to obtain a permit. Download a PDF Application for persons with disabilities parking privileges here. Special Mobile Machinery Under Colorado state law, all special mobile machinery, mounted equipment, office trailers and self propelled construction equipment must be registered in the County where it is located. Equipment that is operated on or carried over public streets or highways to a work site must be registered with the County Clerk so current proof of taxes paid is visible to law enforcement agencies. Other equipment must be listed with the County Assessor for the collection of personal property tax. Download SMM Registration Requirements and Worksheet in PDF format.
