Bicycle Registration

All bicycles that have 2 tandem wheels that are 20 inches or more in diameter are required to be registered.

The permanent registration fee for a bicycle is $15.00 payable to the County Director of Finance.

A low-speed electric bicycle, as defined under title 15 United States Code section 2085, means a two-or-three wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph. 

The permanent registration fee for a low-speed electric bicycle is $30.00, payable to County Director of Finance.

Bicycles, which are currently registered in another state, are exempt from registration until the expiration of that state’s tag. If the out of state registration certificate is lost or expired, the applicant must provide proof of ownership in the form of a Bill of Sale, notarized Statement of Fact, invoice, or receipt which adequately describes the bicycle.

If you sell a bicycle you should file a Bicycle Notice of Transfer to protect your liability.

To record a transfer of ownership for a bicycle, you must submit the last issued certificate of registration released by the owner of record. If the registration is not current, you will be required to renew the bicycle registration.

The transfer fee is $5.00 if the transfer is recorded within 30 calendar days of release date. Otherwise, a fee of $15.00 will be assessed if the transfer is not recorded within 30 calendar days.

The fee for a duplicate certificate of registration is $5.00.  The fee for a replacement tag is $2.00.
