Snowmobile
registrations fund snowmobile program
http://parks.state.wa.us/140/Sno-Park-snowmobile-Permit
Your $50 registration fee and money
collected from a gas tax refund are put into a dedicated fund account for the
Snowmobile Program.
The gas tax refund is computed using the following formula: 135 gallons
(average yearly fuel usage per snowmobile) x 30 cents per gallon of gas.
The gas tax refund and registration fees collected each year add up to
approximately $90.50, (less up to 3%)
until June 30 2016. It will then increase to $97.12 (less up to 3%)
through June 30, 2031per snowmobile to fund the program. Fees collected this year are put
towards next year's snowmobile season to pay for trail grooming, snow removal,
sanitation, administration, education, and enforcement.
This information is brought to you in partnership with the Washington State
Snowmobile Association.
