New York Snowmobile Registration Fee Calculator
Snowmobile registration in New York is handled by the New York DMV and costs $100 per year — or $45 with a state snowmobile association club membership. Like most snow states, registration is generally required for riding on public lands and trails, with your own property exempt — and trail passes or club memberships are often a separate (sometimes larger) cost than the registration itself.
