So Dakota Domicile

[janstey58]

Hi All, I am ready to pull the trigger on Full Timing and plan to Domicile in So Dakota. I have been reading up on this, but dont really understand the vehicle registration. Do you have to have proof of original sales tax paid in your current state for each vehicle when it was originally purchased? And if so does that keep you from paying SD sales tax upon registration? Thx, Jeff

I just purchased a pre owned RV in Oregon. I live in California. I just sent all the paperwork into Clay County South Dakota. I am paying them the sales tax of 4% plus 10 dollar title fee and 220 registration. Clay County Treasurer has a web site. Being from Ca. I almost went into shock when they answered the phone and are very friendly and will answer all your questions. I have called a couple times always a pleasurable experience. The best part is they will mail your plates to anywhere you don't need an address there.
Now I just have to stay one step in front of the revenue collectors (CHP) till I retire in December and head south.

I don't have a dog in this race, but some advice . . . don't discuss this stuff in a public forum, especially when a state like CA is involved.

Call the county treasurer, for tax rates amd registration fees. SD does charge a balance on sales tax, IF you paid a lesser rate in the other jurusdiction.
sd.gov A little search will answer your questions.

Over the years in the past, I've moved to several different states and had several vehicles re-titled and re-licensed, Indiana, North Carolina, Missouri, back to Indiana, Massachusetts, back to Indiana, Virginia, Ohio, back to Indiana. I paid Sales tax only the first time at the state I was currently a resident of when I purchased the vehicle. When moving to the next state, I only paid for the title and registration (plates).

Why would you pay sales tax twice? That just makes no sense at all.

This is all very interesting but has no relevance to the original question!

10-4. If you have proof of sales tax paid previously at 4% or greater of the vehicle's current NADA value. If not you pay 4% of the current value or the difference.

I believe I paid 4 percent on my 15 RAM then it went up to 5 percent with the 16 DRV.

I have real world experience having my SD Domicile since 2015.

I highly recommend contacting Dakota Post as I already said for the FACTS!

That's generally what one wants with this type of question. However you will get replies that purport to be reliable examples, and supposedly first-person accounts of how they did it.

But the fact of the matter is that you have no idea how reliable the information you're getting really is. Do yourself a favor and bypass the unreliable and get it from the source, not second-hand.
