Do my tags expire on the first day or the last day of the month?

Auto, truck, and motorcycle tags expire on the last day of each month based on the first letter of your name or business.  Heavy trucks (over 12,000 pounds) and trailers expire on December 31st but have until the last day of February to complete the renewal process.
