Snowmobile Registration

Outside of bicycles and skateboards, South Dakota's Motor Vehicles Division (MVD) requires registration for just about anything with axles and wheels, including snowmobiles.

All snowmobiles must be registered, regardless if you restrict your riding to private property or exclusively to frozen lakes. Your county treasurer handles all registrations. What forms to bring depends on whether you purchased the snowmobile from a dealership or from an individual.

Vehicles licensed for gross weight can tow a licensed trailer, provided that the combined weight of the trailer and the load being hauled are not included in determining the vehicle's declared gross weight.
