The Texas REALTOR® license plate is now available!
Let everyone know you are proud to be a Texas REALTOR®
Frequently asked questions
How much do they cost?The plates cost $30, plus the amount of your regular registration fee. Renewal each year will cost $30, and replacement plates will cost $5.30. Personalized "vanity" plates cost an additional $40. (TxDOT may change these prices in the future.)
Must I be an active REALTOR® to purchase a plate?Yes. The "I Am A Texas REALTOR®" license plate is only for use by active Texas REALTORS® .That means you must be a REALTOR® member of the Texas Association of REALTORS®. The plate is not available to other member classes of the association; nor is it available to real estate agents and brokers who are not REALTORS®.
How do I order my plate? Texas REALTORS® can download the TxDOT application (member login required).
Is there some type of pro-rated fee to synchronize my new plate with my current vehicle registration? Yes, assuming you’ve already renewed your vehicle registration and then decide you want the specialty plate. In this case, your vehicle registration expiration date will need to be adjusted to correspond with the expiration of the specialty license plate. If necessary, additional fees will be collected to make this adjustment. Usually it’s $5 to $6 per month for several months to get your vehicle and new plate “synchronized.” You may be required to exchange your current windshield validation sticker to your county tax assessor-collector for a new one. All this will be worked out when you pick up your new specialty plate.
Does the state get this money?$22 of the proceeds received from the sale of this plate will go into the Texas Association of REALTORS® Housing Opportunity Foundation established to promote affordable housing in Texas.
Can I get a personalized "vanity" plate with the "I Am A Texas REALTOR®" design?Yes, for an additional $40, you can get a personalized plate of up to five characters (subject to TxDOT requirements).
