If you recently brought your car from out-of-state to Washington, get ready to pay up.

Over 32,000 car owners will be receiving a letter from the Washington Department of Licensing asking them to pay a $15 fee that wasn't collected due to a processing error.

The cars would have been brought between December 2016 and August 2017 and should have been assessed a $15 Out of State Vehicle Check fee at the time they titled their vehicle in Washington state.

The error resulted in about $491,000 in uncollected fees, which are required by law to help fund highway safety programs.

Drivers need to pay the $15 before their next renewal and can pay in-person at a vehicle licensing office or online at dol.wa.gov.
