He said when it comes to disabled placards, there are permanent and temporary ones.

“The permanent disability tag does not come with an associated fee. However, the temporary one does come with a $15 fee. Any person applying for a new permit or renewing or replacing their disabled parking permit must provide form HSMV 83146,” Trooper Steve said.

Drivers must also provide a certifying medical authority.

“This would include something from a physician, or a similarly license physician from another state, if the application is accompanied by documentation,” he said.
