All Snowmobiles In Colorado Need to Be Registered

If you own a snowmobile and plan to drive it on public lands and trails in Colorado, you must register your vehicle with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

The snowmobile season is fast approaching in Colorado, which means it's time for back-country snow enthusiasts to start preparing for the winter season ahead. That includes making sure the vehicle is registered before hitting the trails.

Anyone who owns a snowmobile in Colorado is required to register that vehicle every year at an annual cost of $30.25. The registration is valid from October 1 through September 30 each year.

How to Register Your Snowmobile in Colorado

There are several ways to register a snowmobile in Colorado. You can register in person at various dealers across the state or at many Colorado Parks and Wildlife offices. You can also complete the snowmobile registration form and mail it to:
