Donations

Learn about optional donations you can add to your yearly tab renewal fees, and potential deductions when you donate your vehicle.

State Parks Account

Per state law, we automatically include a $5 donation to Washington State Parks in your yearly tab renewal fees.

To donate, simply renew your tabs and pay the amount shown.

Your donation to the State Parks Account keeps state parks open. With your support, more than 100 state parks all over Washington provide beautiful settings for camping, picnicking, hiking, bicycling, boating, or just relaxing in the peace and quiet of nature. Learn more about state parks donations.

Opt out

If you don’t want to donate, you can opt out. This will subtract $5 from your tab renewal cost.

We'll ask you if you want to donate. Choose “No, I don't want to donate. Please remove the $5 donation from my fees.”
