HB 4 Wyoming House · 2025 Regular Session

Snowmobile registration and user fees.

Wyoming's HB 4 increases annual registration fees for snowmobiles: $50 for private resident use (up from $35), $150 for commercial use (up from $105), and creates a $25 permanent antique snowmobile registration. Antique snowmobiles (30+ years old) must be used only for organized events like parades or exhibitions, not general riding, and receive a distinctive decal. All fees collected - especially from antique and nonresident users - will fund snowmobile trail improvements through the Department of State Parks. The bill directly affects all snowmobile owners in Wyoming, including residents, nonresidents, and antique vehicle owners.
