MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The City of Olive Branch said Mississippi residents who display out-of-state license plate tags will receive citations and possible fines in the amount of $659.28.
According to Mayor Adams of Olive Branch, several residents have called reporting that they are seeing an increased number of cars with out-of-state licenses in Olive Branch subdivisions.
Full-time military personnel and full-time students who have a permanent residence in another state but are temporarily live in Mississippi are the only persons exempt from receiving citations and possible fines.
Mayor Adams said residents displaying out-of-state tags unfairly avoid paying for Mississippi license plates, taking away money accumulated from roadway maintenance taxes.
The Olive Branch Police Department will be “blitzing,” or heavily patrolling subdivisions in search of cars with out-of-state tags, Mayor Adams said.
