11 register as a dealer and remit the tax. The department may
12 appoint the county tax collector as the department's agent to
13 accept applications for registrations. The application must be
14 made to the department before the person, firm, copartnership,

16 accompanied by a registration fee of $5. However, a
17 registration fee is not required to accompany an application

19 department may waive the registration fee for applications
20 submitted through the department's Internet registration
21 process or central electronic registration system provided by
