Where and how to renew your tags in Van Zandt County

Renew a Van Zandt County registration online through TxDMV, by mail, or at a county tax office. Ordinary non-commercial vehicles here no longer need a safety inspection, and Van Zandt is outside the emissions program. For mail renewal, include the county's requested ID copy, insurance proof, notice, and payment; farm registration may need an ag/timber number.

The county directs mail renewals more than 30 days late to an office. State online renewal can still work up to 12 months after expiration if you have not received an expired-registration citation. The main office is the East Annex at 24632 Hwy 64 in Canton, weekdays 8 to 4:30, with title work ending at 4:15. It opens at noon on the second Tuesday of each month for staff training.

Substations have set days: Grand Saline at 212 W. Garland on Mondays, Ben Wheeler at 1540 FM 279 on Wednesdays, and Wills Point at 145 N. 5th on Thursdays and Fridays. Check the county schedule for lunch closures and title cutoffs before driving.
