Hamilton County residents can now get their annual vehicle registration decals printed off at new Food City kiosk locations.
The County Clerk’s Office launched the first kiosk in Hixson in 2024, and now there will be three more with locations in Red Bank, Harrison and Ooltewah. County residents can get their renewal stickers printed off there by scanning either their renewal postcard from the state or their most current registration receipt.
“Our office is extremely grateful to Food City for donating space in their stores,” said Bill Knowles, the county clerk. “This partnership allows us to provide an additional level of service, particularly benefiting residents in the northern part of Hamilton County.”
There are some limits to what the kiosks can do. They can’t process address changes or complete renewals that are 90 days before or after their expiration date. They can’t dispense license plates, either. All of those transactions must be done in person at the County Clerk’s Office.
For a standard plate, Hamilton County costs to renew are $29 in person (at County Clerk’s Office or one of the Food City locations), $34 by mail and $35 online.

The kiosks will be accessible as long as the Food City they’re inside is open — 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

— Red Bank Food City, 3901 Dayton Blvd.
