SB184

South Dakota is replacing its current aircraft registration fee system with a new schedule that charges different fees based on aircraft type and specifications—ranging from $50 for gliders and antique aircraft up to $600 for jets and turboshaft helicopters. The bill eliminates three sections of old aircraft fee law and reorganizes how registration fees are structured to better distinguish between smaller, simpler aircraft and larger, more complex ones. This gives aircraft owners clearer categories for what they'll pay when registering their planes with the state.
