See FAQ #10 - "Can you give me an estimate on how much it will be to register my vehicle in South Dakota?" Under this FAQ, you will find the licensing fee charts for the different classes of vehicles. Here is some further information on other fees that MAY apply (i.e. taxes, lien fee, etc.): Registration is for typically for 12 months, however, the first year may be pro-rated. Your renewal month is determined by the the first letter of your last name. South Dakota also charges the following fees: Title Transfer Fee: $10.00 Lienholder Fee: $10.00 (as applicable) Reassignment of other SD Plates already assigned to another vehicle owned by you: $7.00 Excise Tax: Variable (see below) County Wheel Tax: $5.00 per wheel Electric Vehicle Fee: $50.00 Motorcycle Safety Fee: $7.00 (motorcycles only) New Purchase (not yet titled in the Applicant’s name, taxes not yet paid): All Vehicles including ATV’s and Motorcycles: 4% due on total purchase price* Watercraft: 3% due on total purchase price including motor* South Dakota defines the "Purchase Price" as total consideration of vehicle/watercraft price and all accessories not charged sales tax. Including but not limited to rebates, document fees, extended warranties, service contracts, and GAP Waiver. Trade in Allowances are deducted from the total purchase price (including accessories and anything that you did not pay sales tax on) only if verified by VIN on the purchase contract and if that trade in was titled in the name of the applicant. Exclusions: Discounts are not rebates. Rebates are excise taxable, discounts are not. Insurance is not excise taxable but must be clearly indicated as such. Vehicle Already titled in Applicant’s Name on an Out of State Title: If the title being transferred to SD is from a state that has a state tax rate on vehicle purchases that is equal to, or higher than 4%, no tax will be due to SD as reciprocity will be given if the title issue date is older than 24 months. (Documentation of previous taxes paid must be provided for any title issued less than 2 years ago.) Full Reciprocity does not apply to those coming from Al, AK, OR, SC, NH, NC, OK, NM or MT. 4% Excise tax will apply to NADA value from the SD system. The listed states above impose a flat rate motor vehicle excise tax less than South Dakota’s 4% rate. If your vehicle is titled in one of these states, here is the rate difference you will pay in SD tax: Alabama - 2% Alaska - 4% Montana - 4% New Hampshire - 4% North Carolina - 1% (max credit of $2500 for motorhomes) Oregon - 4% (titled before January 2018); 3.5% (titled after January 2018) South Carolina - 4% minus $500 (max credit)

Yes! South Dakota title and registration statutes do not specifically prohibit an out-of-state applicant from titling and registering in South Dakota. Per South Dakota Codified Law (SDCL 32-3-18), you will need your original out of state title, a copy of your state driver license, social security number, and proof of any taxes you have already paid on the vehicle (if applicable). You might also be interested to know that not all states restrict non-residents from registering their vehicles there. An article by Janet Berry-Johnson (2023) noted that there are several other states that also allow non-residents to register a vehicle, including: California Colorado Delaware Florida Indiana Kentucky Maine Massachusetts New York North Dakota According to a 2018 report by the Rapid City Journal, there were 58,334 out-of-state vehicles registered with the South Dakota Department of Revenue's Motor Vehicle division which represent nearly five percent of all 1.2 million vehicles currently titled in South Dakota. The number has continued to grow each year since. Last year alone, we helped over 3,000 out-of-state residents register their vehicle in South Dakota. Many of our out-of-state clients include expats (living abroad), college students, active-duty military, "Snowbirds", full-time travelers, and traveling workers (e.g., nurses and OTR truck drivers). South Dakota authorities also advise that you check with your current state of residence to ensure there are no complications resulting from registering your vehicle in another state. If so, establishing residency in South Dakota is your solution. This does not require changing your domicile. Let us help you do the same!

ELT is short for Electronic Lien and Title. If your vehicle is currently being financed (making monthly payments), the title is held electronically by the state. Your title will remain in an electronic form for the benefit of the bank (lien holder). Once your loan is paid off and the bank releases their (security) interest in the vehicle. a paper title will be printed and mailed to the vehicle owner. Several states have adopted ELT systems to improve the vehicle titling process. So, what is an ELT? It's a system that electronically creates, saves, and updates vehicle titles. The ELT system eliminates the need for paper titles. Vehicle titles can be managed electronically, saving a great deal of time and money that results from the handling and storing of a paper title. The ELT process isn't available everywhere, and the process varies from state to state. South Dakota has been an ELT state since October 2012. The adoption of the ELT program across the country is still ongoing. The rules and processes vary by state. Each state has chosen how and when to implement the ELT program. As states establish their own timeline and set their own rules, this only adds to an already complex paper titling process. This is especially true in states where lenders must adhere to two separate processes (electronic & paper). However, efforts are in place to standardize the process across the nation. The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) has created a standard for implementing and using an ELT system. Only Arizona, Hawaii, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia have adopted the uniform AAMVA ELT Specifications. The rest have created unique standards or rely on various third-party providers. Navigating different ELT rules across jurisdictions can be challenging. If you have a lien, and would like to transfer your title to South Dakota, contact us today.

The state of South Dakota requires vehicle owners to apply for title and registration of a newly acquired vehicle within 45 days. There is no provision for extensions beyond the 45 day requirement. Interest and penalties will accrue on the motor vehicle excise tax. All fees are assessed from the purchase date regardless of when an applicant applies for title and registration. Interest is at a rate of 1 percent or $5, whichever is greater, for the first month; and 1 percent per month thereafter on any application made after 45 days from the date of purchase. (Interest is not calculated on interest.) A one-time penalty equal to 10 percent of the tax or $10, whichever is greater, is automatically applied against any application made after 60 days from the purchase date. An applicant will be charged title late fees at a rate of $1 per week up until the 24th week. If the applicant is over this date, the rate automatically maxes to a fee of $50.

No, you do NOT need a South Dakota Driver's License to title & register your vehicles. (You do NOT need a South Dakota address either!) Rather than a South Dakota Driver's License number, your vehicles are registered under your Social Security number. Acceptable proof includes SS card, 1099, or W2 which shows your FULL SSN. Unfortunately, you cannot receive personalized, disabled, veteran or other "specialty" plates unless you have a South Dakota Driver's License. You will be issued the standard license plate. Here is the current design for: Motor Vehicle (Car/Truck/Motorcycle/ATV/Motorhome): Here is the current design for: Non-Motorized Vehicle (All Trailers/Campers): Obtaining a South Dakota Driver's License would not only allow you to obtain specialty plates but it could also open up even more potential savings and benefits for you. Obtaining a South Dakota Driver's License is an important first step in establishing residency. With residency, you could take further advantage of even more tax savings in the state. South Dakota does not have a state income tax. With a driver's license, you could also register to vote or obtain Concealed Carry Permit.

No, if you have titled and licensed your vehicle(s) in another state, you will be given credit for any state, county and city "Sales" taxes you previously paid. When you register your vehicle in South Dakota you will not have to pay any additional tax IF your state’s tax rate is above South Dakota’s 4% tax rate. However, if the state in which you are transferring from has no tax or a lower tax rate than South Dakota’s 4%, then you will pay the tax rate to match the 4%. If you have owned your vehicle less than two years (or your title "Issue" date was less than two years ago), to receive tax credit (reciprocity), documentation will be required for the taxes you have already paid on the vehicle. No tax proof is required for those vehicles being transferred from a higher tax state and two years have passed since you took ownership. Vehicle Already titled in Applicant’s Name on an Out of State Title: If the title being transferred to SD is from a state that has a state tax rate on vehicle purchases that is equal to or higher than 4%, no tax will be due to SD as reciprocity will be given if the title issue date is older than 24 months. Again, acceptable proof of taxes previously paid must be provided to receive credit. Full Reciprocity does not apply to those coming from Al, AK, OR, SC, NH, NC, OK, NM or MT. 4% Excise tax will apply to NADA value from the SD system. The above listed states impose motor vehicle taxes less than South Dakota’s 4% rate. If your vehicle is titled in one of these states, here is the rate difference you will pay in SD tax: Alabama - 2% Alaska - 4% Montana - 4% New Hampshire - 4% North Carolina - 1% (max credit of $2500 is given for motorhomes) Oregon - 4% (titled before January 2018); 3.5% (titled after January 2018) South Carolina - 4% minus $500 (max credit)
