Wisconsin Golf Cart & LSV Registration Fee Calculator
A street-legal low-speed vehicle (LSV) costs $23 per 2-year cycle to register, plus a $207 title. Wisconsin golf carts can't be registered and run only on municipal streets a local ordinance opens; LSVs register for a modest $23 biennial fee — but the title is the sting. Liability insurance and a driver's license are required.

- Wisconsin's original LSV title is now $207 (standard vehicles $214.50) after the $50 increase on October 1, 2025 — the DMV's own LSV page still showed the stale $157 figure at this review.
