Effective date: New Jersey does not print one. The courtesy-copy header says Expires on March 9, 2018. We are not inventing a later date.

Those are the New Jersey single-trip base fees for one one-way movement. $10 is oversize or overweight. $20 is oversize and overweight. Printed dimension, weight, and transaction add-ons sit on top.

N.J.A.C. 13:18-1.6: “(a) The base permit fee shall be as follows: 1. For either an oversize or overweight vehicle single-trip permit - $10.00; 2. For an oversize and overweight vehicle single-trip permit - $20.00 and the additional oversize and overweight fees shall also apply; … (b) There shall be an additional fee of $1.00 for each foot or fractional portion thereof that the dimensions … exceed 14 feet in width. There shall be an additional fee of $1.00 for each foot or fractional portion thereof that the dimensions … exceed 63 feet in length. … 70 feet in length [house-type]. (c) There shall be an additional fee of $5.00 for each 2,000 pounds or fractional portion thereof that the weight of the vehicle, including load, exceeds either the axle or gross weight limits--whichever is greater--set forth in Title 39 of the Revised Statutes. (d) There shall be an additional fee of $12.00 plus a service charge of five percent of the total permit fee, for each permit transaction.”

The NJPASS fee sheet does not use “whichever is greater.” It writes: “$5.00 per ton (or fraction thereof) over 80,000 pounds GVW. $5.00 per ton (or fraction thereof) over the following legal axle weights: 22,400 lbs. on a single axle 34,000 lbs. on a tandem axle.” That is stacking axle and gross, not 13:18-1.6(c)’s “whichever is greater.” We are posting the rule. We are not silently replacing it with the fee-sheet stack, and we are not deleting the fee sheet.

The same fee sheet calls the 5% a “credit card service charge.” 13:18-1.6(d) prints it as a service charge on each permit transaction, not labeled as credit-card-only. We are leaving both wordings in place.

This page covers general single-trip permits. Code 23 and the annual ocean-borne container permit are separate products. Turnpike, Parkway, and ACE are in the routing, not a substitute statewide number.

When this number took effect

The courtesy copy does not print an effective date for these fees. Its header says “Expires on March 9, 2018.” We are not inventing a later date.

Checked 2026-08-21 (PT) against the official 13:18 courtesy-copy snapshot.
