Some snow was reported today in parts of northwest Iowa.
Iowa snowmobilers are no longer required to purchase and display an annual trail user permit, according to a new law that went into effect on July 1st.
The law folded the trail user permit into the annual snowmobile registration fee, which will now be $30 plus administration fees. The previous price for each type was $15.
Registration and permit fees for snowmobiles are placed in a dedicated account for snowmobile programs in Iowa, including the Iowa Snowmobile Trail Grant Program, which is administered through the Iowa State Snowmobile Association.
Snowmobilers who own a new machine or have not yet entered the snowmobile into the state registration system need to go to the county recorder’s office in their county of residence to start the registration process.
