State Parks Account
How to donate
A $5 donation to keep state parks open is included in the total cost of your vehicle tab renewal per RCW 46.16A.090. To donate, simply renew your tabs and pay the amount shown.
How to opt out
If you don’t want to donate, you may opt out. This will subtract $5 from your tab renewal cost. Here's how:
- While renewing online, we'll ask you if you want to donate. Choose “No, I don't want to donate. Please remove the $5 donation from my fees.”
- If you renew by mail or in person, use the worksheet on the back of your renewal notice to subtract $5 from the total amount.
How to get a refund
If you make a donation in error, you may request a refund (parks.state.wa.us) from Washington State Parks.
To learn more about the donations, visit the State Parks website.
