SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The last license fee increase for most South Dakota vehicles was in 2013, while the last increase for commercial vehicles was in the early 80’s.
Director of Division of Motor Vehicles, Peggy Laurenz, told the Senate Transportation Committee today that the state processed 1.4 million vehicle registrations last fiscal year.
Laurenz says revenue raised from vehicle license and registration fees all go back to the counties, or the local governments, to fund maintenance for roads and bridges.
Laurenz says close to 100,000 registrations were done on-line or at one of ten terminals across South Dakota last year.
There are three ways to renew license and registration in South Dakota. Go to your county treasurer, online or at one of ten terminals located in 8 communities.
