A leased vehicle has its own Boone County tax-paperwork check

Leased vehicles can make Boone County plate renewal less obvious than a normal paid-receipt errand. For a leased vehicle, a resident may need either a statement of non-assessment or a personal property tax receipt.

The key date is January 1 of the previous tax year. If the resident was leasing the vehicle then, the paperwork points toward the personal property tax receipt. If not, the path may be a statement of non-assessment, supported by a lease agreement or renewal notice.

This is a narrow note, but it saves a real trip. Before going to a license office, check whether the lease existed on January 1 and bring the county document that matches that fact.
