Tax Statistics


Total Fuel Tax Revenues

Gasoline, ethanol blend, aviation fuel, jet fuel, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), and diesel fuel all fall into the fuel tax category.  In fiscal year 2003, there were 2,916 fuel licenses in South Dakota, but only 1,272 licensees were required to report and remit tax.


Motor Vehicle Licensing

Commercial registration fees (licensing fees) are levied on intrastate and interstate motor carriers

doing business in the state. The amount of the fee for interstate registration is determined by the

percentage of miles the carrier travels in all the states. Over 98% of the fees are used by local

governments to maintain public roads. Prorate registration revenues during fiscal year 2006 were

$11,450,578, the largest share of which was distributed to counties for county roads.


Title and Registration Revenues

Any vehicle (including mobile homes, trailers, and snowmobiles) that operates on South Dakota’s roadways must have a title verifying ownership. Vehicles and boats used on public roadways or waterways must also be registered. Registration is confirmed by the issuance of a license plate, decal or permit.
