Greene County recorder Deb McDonald reminds local residents who own snowmobiles and off highway vehicles (OHV) that the state registration expires Dec. 31. A penalty goes into effect on Jan. 1.
Registrations for snowmobiles and OHVs purchased during the 2020 registration cycle will expire Dec. 31, 2020. Any decal displayed on a machine with a 20 printed on it will no longer be valid for machines to be used on snowmobile trails, public ice, or the OHV parks. Any registration that is not renewed prior to Jan. 1, 2021, will have a late penalty of $5 applied to the registration cost.
All permits, which include resident snowmobiles and nonresident snowmobiles and OHVs, also expire Dec. 31, 2020. There is no late penalty for a permit purchased after Jan. 1 as they are issued for a calendar year.
User permits are required for nonresident and resident snowmobiles used on public land or ice. Nonresident off road vehicles registered in the owner’s home state must display a user permit. Residents operating an off highway vehicle do not need a user permit.
