Fees for Idaho agriculture plates

Beginning July 1, 2026, you pay a $35 first-time fee for Idaho agriculture plates, plus the normal registration. Each year after, you pay a $25 renewal fee. From each $35 initial fee, $10 goes to the state highway account and $25 goes to Idaho Ag in the Classroom. From each $25 renewal fee, $10 goes to the state highway account and $15 goes to Idaho Ag in the Classroom. You can also buy a sample plate for $30; $10 goes to the state highway account and $20 to Idaho Ag in the Classroom.

Who can get Idaho agriculture plates

Beginning July 1, 2026, you can get Idaho agriculture plates if your vehicle is registered under Idaho Code 49-402 or 49-434(1). Your vehicle must have a registered maximum gross weight of 26,000 pounds or less. The transportation board may allow other vehicles by rule. If you sell or assign the vehicle, you may move the plates to another vehicle after you pay the transfer fee. You can display the moved plates only after you receive the new registration.

Ag in the Classroom funds plate startup

Beginning July 1, 2026, initial costs to start the Idaho agriculture plate program, including plate design, are paid from the Idaho Ag in the Classroom account. This shifts startup costs away from the transportation department’s budget. It does not change the plate fees you pay.
