Minnesota Golf Cart & LSV Registration Fee Calculator
A street-legal low-speed vehicle (LSV) has no single flat registration fee in Minnesota — the confirmed charges are itemized below. Minnesota carts run on city/county permits (up to 3 years, typically $25–$100, set locally) — and famously, a full driver's license is NOT required, so residents with medically restricted licenses can still drive one. Liability insurance and a driver's license are required.

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 Minnesota roads posted 35 mph or less.
- Minnesota LSVs pay the standard registration tax ($10 plus 1.575% of base MSRP, depreciating to a $35 minimum) — no flat rate.
- Statute 169.045 is the medical-permit provision — a genuinely distinctive Minnesota rule.
