Clay County Tag Office
Checking…The Clay County Tag Office handles vehicle registration renewals, license plates and decals, and title work for Clay County. It is run by the Clay County Treasurer. Kansas registration includes the annual vehicle property tax set by your county, which is why you renew where you live rather than at whichever office is closest. Walk-ins are normal; no appointment is needed for routine transactions.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment?
No. Tag offices in Kansas take walk-ins for routine transactions. Call ahead only for unusual title situations such as bonded titles, rebuilt vehicles or estates.
Can I renew my registration here?
Yes. Kansas registration includes the vehicle property tax for your county, so renew in the county where you live — the amount differs elsewhere. Renewal guide.
Can I do this online instead?
Routine renewals often can be, if your insurance is active in the state database and nothing has changed on the registration. Title transfers, out-of-state vehicles, plate replacements and anything involving a lien have to be done at the counter. When online works.
What payment do they take?
Each county treasurer sets its own payment policy. Card fees are common and some offices are cash or check only. Confirm at (785) 632-3282.
I just moved here. What do I need?
Insurance in the new state first, then a VIN inspection (required in Kansas for out-of-state vehicles), then the out-of-state title and registration. If a lender holds the title, start early. New resident guide.
