Frequently Asked Questions:
- Why did I receive a Letter? DelDOT referred your account to the firm for collection after a toll violation remained unpaid and delinquent. For each unpaid toll violation, DelDOT issues a Toll Violation Notice. In addition to the toll, a Violation Notice has a $25 Administrative Fee, $10 Ambulance Company Fund Fee, and a $15 fee to Combat Violent Crimes. A Toll Violation Final Notice is issued if the Violation Notice has not been paid within 30 days. The Toll Violation Final Notice adds a Civil Penalty of $25 and a Civil Penalty Surcharge of $12.50 to the fees listed on the first Notice of Toll Violation. If the Toll Violation Final Notice is not paid, it will be subject to registration hold, collection activities or legal action.
- What if I never received a Notice from DelDOT? Per Delaware law, it is the registered owner’s responsibility to pay for any tolls and fees incurred on a Delaware Toll Road. As required by Delaware law, notices of the unpaid tolls are mailed to the legal registered address on record with the Delaware or applicable state DMV at the time the toll was incurred. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to keep the registered address for their vehicle current.
- What are the additional penalties and fees being charged? The violation notice was issued pursuant to Title 21 Delaware Code § 4127. Failure to pay that notice resulted in the imposition of the additional penalties and fees for each individual toll violation. Fees assessed by DelDOT for late-paid tolls: Administrative Fee, Title 21 Delaware Code §4129; State Fire Prevention Commission Volunteer Ambulance Company Fund, Title 11 Del. Code §4101(j); Fund to Combat Violent Crimes Fee, Title 11 Del. Code §4101(h); Civil Penalty, Title 21 Del. Code §4129; Civil Penalty Surcharge, Title 11 Del. Code §4101(g)(1).
- What if I sold my vehicle? You may provide any documents related to the sale of the vehicle for review. A completed Bill of Sale or signed Odometer Disclosure Statement are acceptable.
- What if I wasn’t driving the vehicle at the time of the toll violations? Under Delaware law, the registered owner is responsible for all tolls and fees, even if someone else was driving.What if my license plate was stolen? The owner of the vehicle is responsible for reporting to law enforcement that the license plate was stolen. A copy of the completed police report, filed prior to the tolls being incurred, must be submitted for review.What if I already paid? If paid by check, a copy of the front and back of a cashed check, a copy of the receipt or a copy of the bank statement must be submitted.
If paid by credit card, a copy of the receipt or a copy of the credit card statement must be submitted.What if I have an E-ZPass account? If you received a notice but have an E-ZPass for your vehicle, most likely, one of two situations occurred. Either, your E-ZPass account was insufficiently funded at the time the toll was incurred, or no toll tag was read by DelDOT when the toll was incurred, and your vehicle license plate was not properly assigned to the account to allow Delaware to receive payment from your home E-ZPass agency. If you believe that your E-ZPass account should have paid the toll(s), you must provide a copy of the E-ZPass statement showing that at the time the toll(s) were incurred, 1) the account had available funds to cover the amount of the toll(s), and 2) the license plate of the vehicle was listed on the account.What if I am divorced and my Ex was driving the vehicle? A copy of the final divorce decree, including the judge's signature awarding the vehicle to your ex-spouse, including the judge's signature, must be provided for review.What if I have never traveled on a Delaware toll road? DelDOT can review the image of the vehicle taken at the time of the transaction to confirm whether the license plate was misread or if some other error occurred.Quick Links To DELDOT Toll Roads:
