Chapter 5-0 General Information Section 5 Registration Non-Renew Status To ensure that all registrants comply with the non-renew law, the Section 5 Division can administratively place Section 5 registrations in non-renew status when this division is notified by a tax collector that a Section 5 registrant has overdue unpaid excise taxes. The following events place a Section 5 registration in non-renew status: • The tax collector in the city/town where the registration holder’s business is located, completes a Tax Collector’s Notice of Excise Tax Delinquency by General Registration Holder form. • The tax collector mails the completed form, with a letter on official stationary of the municipality or the tax collector, to the RMV’s Section 5 Division. • The Section 5 Division places the registration in an administrative non-renew status and forwards a copy of the form to the registration holder notifying him/ her of the non-renew status. • The registration holder also is sent a letter notifying him/her of: • The amount owed to the tax collector • The amount owed to the Registry • How and where the registration holder can make this payment. Note: A Section 5 registrant who fails to pay a required excise tax may be placed in non-renewal status by the Registrar.
