Minnehaha County’s highway superintendent pitched an increase in the amount of money the county charges for vehicles Tuesday, telling commissioners a formal request would come sometime this year.

Perhaps as early as June 1, although Superintendent Jacob Maras conceded that a mid-year increase would mean that some residents who already registered their vehicles wouldn’t pay the increase while others would.

State law allows counties to charge a wheel tax. Minnehaha County currently charges each vehicle registered in the county at $4 a wheel, with a maximum of $16 per vehicle.
