OK so I’m trying to register my side-by-side so I can drive it on the street and I heard that Osceola county in Florida is where I need to go for my registration?? Anybody have any other ways of registering your side-by-side in South Florida for the street without using dirtlegal.com????

You can't legally tag a sxs in Florida. If you can get it titled elsewhere as a motorcycle, you can worm through a administrative loophole and tag it. That's what I did. The easiest way to get a tag is to go the South Dakota route. You don't have to go through Dirt Legal to do it.

Here are the forms:

Low Speed and Off Road Vehicle Affidavit

Motor Vehicle and Boat Title Application

You will also need to include a copy of the bill of sale showing where you paid sales tax, and the vehicle title, not a copy.

There might be one more form, I'll double check tomorrow (if I can remember). Been absolutely swamped at work. Forms must be mailed.

I sent mine to:

Clay County Treasurer's Office
211 West Main Street #201
Vermillion, South Dakota, 57069

Phone 605-677-7123

If you have questions, call them. They were very helpful.

Thanks a lot for all the info you can give me so far and I appreciate you check to see if there’s one more form. Do you remember the total cost and what blinker kit do you recommend…?

I was swamped again today. My main counter sales guys is out and I'm having to pull double duty. I think the cost was about 140.00, and I'm fabbing my own turn signal kit. It's actually pretty simple.

This is the way!

Simply pick up the phone and call them. They’ll walk you through the process.

I don’t believe the low speed form is necessary…at least us in staters don’t use it.

Legally I can drive any road in SD with exception of the interstates. Not uncommon to be cruising down a state highway and seeing a SXS on the same road.

My SD plate arrived yesterday. $74.92. Dirt legal charges $500.00 to do the same thing.
