The South Dakota County Treasurer notifies vehicle owners 4 weeks in advance of the expiration date of their vehicle registration. The South Dakota's Motor Vehicle Division has a system for renewal of registration based on the first letter of the owner's last name. Vehicle registrations can be renewed before the expiration date either by telephone or in person, depending on which county treasurer you are dealing with.
