Registration here is based on when you purchased the vehicle - 12 months, so it ends up being the month before you bought it that it's due. (because if you went to the same month, that would actually be 13 months, not 12. I used to work for the license bureau in high schoo/college so I had to answer that question a lot.) I've not purchased our tabs in a long time (Jon takes care of that), but I think we're back to paying based on the value of the vehicle - so it does go down as the vehicle ages. And no, we don't have toll roads. Back in the days when Jesse Ventura was our governor, we paid $99 flat for registration, if I remember correctly. Years ago, I could have given you super detailed info about registering your vehicle in Minnesota but my kids have taken those memories away, I think.
Oh, and we layer the stickers over one another. They reallllllly should not be artfully arranged around the outsides of the license plate. But I've seen it happen so many times.
