New Registrations

What will I need??

Dealer Sale:

  • White carbon copy title paper (MVT-2) - may also be blue (old forms)
  • Proof of sales tax paid or bill of sale if not paid 
  • Proof of insurance
  • Window sticker showing MSRP (current year or newer vehicles)

Private Sale:

  • Proof of insurance

 

Every situation is different. If you have additional questions, please call the Office.


Campers:

Effective 7/29 excise tax collected on camper trailers will be based on the length of the camper, not the year and MSRP like car registrations. (Chapter 523 LD 15)
Per the law, these rates will receive a cost-of-living adjustment every year as of 1/1.
Please be prepared to provide proof of the length of your camper. If you cannot provide proof, staff will look the camper length up in our system.
