AI Summary

  • Boat owners who transport their vessel exclusively on a trailer registered in South Dakota to the same owner may elect a ten-year registration period instead of annual registration
  • Applicants must provide proof of trailer registration and submit an affidavit confirming the boat is transported exclusively on that trailer
  • Ten-year registrations expire on the last day of the issuance month in the tenth year and may be renewed for successive ten-year periods if eligibility requirements continue to be met
  • Registration fees are set by the commission and paid only at initial application or renewal, not annually
  • If the trailer registration lapses during the ten-year period, the boat registration automatically converts to annual registration, expiring either on the original expiration date (if less than one year remains) or December 31st of the year the trailer was last registered (if one year or more remains)
