saying they consider a PMB to be an out of state address

Thats the key part I'm interested in. the rest is just fluff. Because if the Pennington County Treasurer says all PMB addresses are not in state. Then they are also saying that the 12 other County & State officials who do accept PMB addresses for every other state function, must be in violation of some new ruling that only the Treasurers office is aware of. 

The Pennington County Treasurer may have the authority to say they will not accept any personal checks from a PMB or not accept personal checks for any other reason. But they don't have the authority to override numerous state laws that define residency & domicile and allow for PMB addresses as acceptable for every in state requirement. Those are 2 completely different issues: whether the Treasurer will accept your check vs whether a PMB address is accepted for all in state registration & licensing requirements.  Someone seems to be mixing the two together

Maybe its just a matter of the wording, but saying the Treasurer will not accept my check because it has a PMB address; is 180% different than saying the Treasurer is changing existing law by defining a PMB address as out of state.

The Treasurer would not accept my check with a PMB address because they consider a PMB as an out of state address, it is not 180% different, it is the same.

So your PMB doesn't have a local zip code? How can a local zip code be labeled as out of state?

We've been registering our vehicles through Americas Mailbox since we went full time and established our domicile in SD.  They send us an email verifying what vehicles we have, and after I email back what we have, they email the amount of a check to be made out to Pennington County Treasurer, and they request it as cashiers check, which costs us nothing extra at Wells Fargo.  Have never had a problem doing this.

That may just be the answer as this way you are not using a personal check. 

Yes Kirk, in the future I will just go to Wells Fargo and get a Cashiers Check payable to Pennington County and mail it into them. By the way after several calls to Escapees I have not had anyone call me back. I think Escapees is dropping the ball on this one. I know it is a minor point that can be corrected with a Cashiers Check but the issue regarding buying a weapon needs to be resolved. The only alternative is to avoid Schields, Cabellas and Runnings and purchase from a Mom and Pop store.

I don't understand why you would prefer to do this rather than to use the SDCars.com website.   That's what it's there for.

Because I don’t have WiFi most of the time. Im not as high tech as you docj.

With all due respect.  Using SDCars is no more complicated than paying any other bill online and you only need a connection for a few minutes in order to use it.  

Hi Folks,

Please know that we are aware of this issue and are in contact with the county, in hopes of trying to resolve this issue quickly. I will let you all know what I learn and our next steps as an organization, as I have them.

Best wishes,
