When the secretary of state computes a tax under this act, a computation that
does not result in a whole dollar figure must be rounded to the next lower
whole dollar when the computation results in a figure ending in 50 cents or
less and must be rounded to the next higher whole dollar if the computation
results in a figure ending in 51 cents or more, unless specific taxes are
specified, and the secretary of state may accept the manufacturer's shipping
weight of the vehicle fully equipped for the use for which the registration
application is made. If the weight is not correctly stated or is not
satisfactory, the secretary of state shall determine the actual weight. Each
application for registration of a vehicle under subdivisions (j) and (m) must
have attached to the application a scale weight receipt of the vehicle fully
equipped as of the time the application is made. The scale weight receipt is
not necessary if there is presented with the application a registration receipt
of the previous year that shows on its face the weight of the motor vehicle as
registered with the secretary of state and that is accompanied by a statement
of the applicant that there has not been a structural change in the motor
vehicle that has increased the weight and that the previous registered weight
is the true weight.
(2) A
manufacturer is not exempted under this act from paying ad valorem taxes on
vehicles in stock or bond, except on the specified number of motor vehicles
registered. A dealer is exempt from paying ad valorem taxes on vehicles in
stock or bond.

a late fee of $10.00 for each registration renewed after the expiration date.
An application for a renewal of a registration using the regular mail and
postmarked before the expiration date of that registration must not be assessed
a late fee. The late fee collected under this subsection must be deposited into
the general fund. The secretary of state shall waive the late fee collected
under this subsection if all of the following are satisfied:

registrant presents proof of storage insurance for the vehicle for which the
late fee is assessed that is valid for the period of time between the
expiration date of the most recent registration and the date of application for
the renewal.

late fee be waived at the time of application for the renewal.
