County registration and fees for golf carts

To use a golf cart or low-speed vehicle on these streets, you must register it with the county. You must show proof of financial responsibility and a valid license or permit, and pay a reasonable fee. The county gives you a decal for the left rear fender and a map of allowed areas. Your registration stays valid while you own the vehicle. The chancery clerk deposits the fee in the DeSoto County general fund.
