Idaho Parks and Recreation Makes Changes to Snowmobile and Off-Highway Vehicle Sticker Programs
KMVT, 12-4-21
The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) has recently made adjustments to the way it sells snowmobile and off-highway vehicle stickers. These changes came as a result of House Bill 86, which was passed in the previous legislative session.
Changes Include…
- Two-year sticker options are now available.
- Vehicle-specific information is no longer required. Minor statistical information is still collected in order to properly manage use.
- New fees have been implemented for snowmobile stickers:
- Resident stickers are now $45.50 per year
- Non-resident stickers are now $59.50 per year
- Rental stickers are now $75.50
Fee increases for snowmobile stickers include additional funds to support county grooming program operations, snowmobile use on Idaho Department of Lands property, and avalanche safety efforts. Some of these are identified as surcharges on customer receipts. These are not additional processing fees.

Idaho Press, 12-3-21
A limited-liability company from Utah dropped more than $5.8 million this week to snap up two lakefront lots on Payette Lake that for years have been owned by Idaho’s state endowment.
The two, which were among six lots the state Department of Lands auctioned off to the highest bidders, were non-adjacent vacant lots, each just under half an acre, along the lake’s shore. For decades, Idaho’s state endowment, which largely benefits the state’s public schools, has rented hundreds of lots to cabin-owners along the popular lake at McCall.
