Avery County awards eight-year contract to DMV for license plate services
What happened
Avery County approved an eight-year contract with the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles to operate the license plate agency in the county tax administrator’s office. The agency is classified as Tier 1, the state’s smallest transaction category, and handles approximately 22,000 transactions each year.

Why it matters
The contract was approved after Avery County faced losing its local agency, which would have required residents to travel to neighboring counties. The agreement establishes a long-term operational structure for a key local government service.
