Which of the following is NOT typically a refundable fee associated with vehicle registration?

Late penalties are assessed as a consequence for failing to register a vehicle by the designated deadline. These fees are intended to promote timely compliance with registration requirements and are not designed to be refundable. Essentially, they serve as a financial deterrent against delays in registration; thus, once paid, they are not reimbursable regardless of future circumstances.

On the other hand, registration fees, use taxes, and weight fees can sometimes be refunded under specific conditions, such as when a vehicle is sold, transferred, or if there is a mistake in the fee calculation. This distinguishes them from late penalties, which do not offer any possibility of refund once incurred.
