Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Live in NC, question on registering MH in South Dakota
Permalink  

New to this forum and I have a question, is it possible to live in one state and register your MH in another, South Dakota for example:
Would I need a SD drivers Lic
Would SD insurance be available for a NC resident with a SD address

I'm curious as the tax rate on MH in NC is quite high.

Thanks in advance

Ron

I believe what you are suggesting may not be legal. NC may look at it as tax evasion.

This topic has been covered in posts by Howard, so check out his section on preparing for the road. I think you'll find your answer there.

By the way, Welcome to the forum. you've found a site where I'm sure you will be able to get all your questions answered.  smile

Jim

You need a SD address to register a vehicle in SD. We use a mail forwarding service and that is acceptable. They require you to obtain a SD drivers license within 60 days of registering a vehicle, which you must do in person, anywhere in SD. However, your actual home state may view your actions as tax evasion, just as Jim said.

BTW, I also welcome you to this forum. This group of folks has helped to keep us out of trouble many times now. They will be happy to do the same for you - Just Ask!

Thanks for the advice, I kinda thought along the  same lines. We are debating going fulltime next year so just doing some homework.

I live in NC as you see and am not a fulltimer. When I purchased my 2004 Winnebago Adventurer and registered it in NC and I paid $1500.00 sales tax.

Every year I have to pay a personal property tax on it along with 2 cars and a utility trailler which all total is less than $400.00 a year.

You have to pay taxes no matter what so why not pay your tax and then enjoy your fulltiming experience and this great country of ours.wink
