FAMU received $446,395.59 from tag sales and renewals in 2013-2014. That
declined to $431,615 in 2014-2015 and then down again to $429,256 in 2015-2016.
Sales are still far below where they were in 2009-2010, when
FAMU received $519,550 in tag revenue. Back in 2009, the Florida Legislature
hiked up fees for vehicle registration. It later cut down the cost of some of
those fees in 2013.
A FAMU tag costs an additional $25.00 per year on top of the
regular auto registration fees. The money from tag sales goes to “academic
enhancement” at the university.
FAMU has participated in the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles specialty license plate program
since 1987.
