To ensure that International Registration Plan (IRP) registrations are evenly staggered throughout the registration year, all new IRP accounts will be assigned the renewal month of July, and ad valorem taxes for these accounts should be collected through July 31 of each year.

Ad valorem tax must be collected for each IRP registered vehicle through the end of the renewal month assigned to the IRP account (refer to memo 2014-19).

The month of July will be the default assigned renewal month for new IRP accounts during the period November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2027.

If you have any questions about IRP, call 334-242-9000, option 5.
