How
much does a tag cost?
$35
plus a $2 mailing fee.
Where
will the money go?
State law requires that $20 of each $35 go to Color
Oklahoma to buy wildflower seed, $8 reimburses the Tax
Commission for processing and $7 goes to a safety education
fund.
How
did the new tag come about?
Color Oklahoma – Sow Some Wild Seeds, a
project of the non-profit Oklahoma Native Plant Society, promoted
legislation to create the tag as a way to raise money to
add wildflowers to Oklahoma’s landscape. The legislation was in House Bill 1994, which the
Legislature passed and Gov. Brad Henry signed into law in
May of 2004.
How
do I order a tag?
You can pick up a form at any tag agency or email a
request to wildflowers@coloroklahoma.org

the state Tax Commission and mail both to the Tax
Commission. The $37 includes a $2 mail order fee. Most tag agencies will accept an application for the tag.

I need to order a new Color Oklahoma tag each year?

similar to the one you buy for your regular tag. The decal will cost $35 and can be purchased at any
tag agency.

Remove your current tag from the back of your
vehicle and put your new Color Oklahoma tag in its place. You must keep your original tag in your vehicle,
