What are the filing deadlines and penalties?
• Answer: Motor Vehicle Law Enforcement Fee filings are due on the 15th day following the end of the month. Payments along with completed, signed and notarized filing forms must be postmarked by the 15th day of the following month, or the following business day, if the 15th is on a Saturday, Sunday or state holiday. Under Section 9109 of the New York State Insurance Law, the Department assesses late fees for filings filed late. Late fees are $250 for filings received with postmarks 1 to 30 days after the deadline and $500 for filings with postmarks more than 30 days after the deadline. In addition, there is a penalty of 5% of the amount to be paid for filings with postmarks 1 to 30 days after the deadline plus 1% for every month late thereafter.
