In California, the fee is that part of a vehicle license fee that is standard and doesn't change with the age of the vehicle. That is clearly delineated on the bill you get for license renewal. On the Virginia DMV website, it provides a fee schedule as a pdf. That link is https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/webdoc/pdf/dmv201.pdf. The table indicates that most cars will have a $40.75 registration fee. If over 4,000 lbs, the fee is $45.75.
extract from dmv201.pdf:
