A lot of localities required them if the vehicle was regularly parked in them overnight. The license fees were about $5. If you didn’t have one the fine was higher than the license fee in a lot of them.

I think that showed you paid you property tax (or something similar).

You paid $5 more so the county got their piece and the town got theirs. Was amazingly stupid, could be fined for not having the sticker even if you paid your taxes, but paying your taxes didn't get the sticker issued, had to do that separately.
Iowa did it the smart way, when you renewed your plates, the fee was your property tax. One transaction, all done.

We don't have them here in Merlin. I remember buying a car from a woman who lived in Virginia after I moved up here. After I had it registered, I made sure to scrape off the window stickers (state inspection and county) because I figured that I'd be pulled over in VA for expired stickers if I didn't. I could imagine telling the cop "But officer, this car is not registered in Virginia anymore" and him saying "that's no excuse".
