Good to know
- A golf cart tops out at about 20 mph and is not built to a federal road standard. A low-speed vehicle (LSV) is the street-legal class: 4 wheels, 20–25 mph, a 17-digit VIN, and FMVSS 500 safety equipment (lights, mirrors, seat belts, windshield) — allowed on Louisiana roads posted 35 mph or less.
- The $68.50 title (plus $8 handling) is verified; Louisiana's LSV plate fee is value-based and the OMV publishes no flat LSV line — treat totals as estimates until confirmed with OMV.
- Act 203 of 2025 created a new local registration pathway with municipally set fees.
