The insurer or self insurer shall, in writing, notify the owner of the obligation to obtain a salvage title before the owner sells or transfers the title. If the owner sells or transfers the ownership of the vehicle without first obtaining a salvage title, the owner is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. This section does not apply to any motor vehicle more than ten model years old or with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than sixteen thousand pounds.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2053502Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2053502000001"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2053502Normal"><span class="s2053502SCL">Source:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2053502SCL-000002"> SL 2005, ch 155, § 4; SL 2015, ch 157, § 10.</span></p></div></body></html><br /><hr><br /><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta charset="UTF-8" /><meta http-equiv='content-language' content='en-us'/><title>SDLRC - Codified Law 32-3-51 - Dismantled or destroyed vehicle--Return of plates and title to department--Cancellation of registration--Consent of lien holder--Notation on certificate--Destruction of certificates--Retention of record--Removal of identification numbers as felony. </title><meta name="Generator" content="PowerTools for Open XML" /><style>span { white-space: pre-wrap; } p.s2053503Normal { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2053503SENU { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2053503CL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } p.s2053503Normal-000000 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-indent: 0.50in; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2053503DefaultParagraphFont { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } p.s2053503Normal-000001 { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-indent: 0.25in; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 108%; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; } span.s2053503000002 { font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2053503SCL { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; } span.s2053503SCL-000003 { font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { text-decoration-skip-ink: none; } </style></head><body><div><p dir="ltr" class="s2053503Normal"><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=32-3-51.22"><span class="s2053503SENU">32-3-51.22</span></a><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2053503SENU">. </span><span class="s2053503CL">Recovered stolen vehicles--Inspection--Title--Salvage vehicle.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2053503Normal-000000"><span class="s2053503DefaultParagraphFont">If a stolen vehicle is recovered, the insurer or self insurer shall, within forty-five days of recovery, inspect the vehicle and apply for a title.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2053503Normal-000001"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2053503DefaultParagraphFont">If the vehicle has no damage or the damage is less than that defined in § </span><a href="https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&amp;Statute=32-3-51.19"><span class="s2053503DefaultParagraphFont">32-3-51.19</span></a><span class="s2053503DefaultParagraphFont">, the insurer or self insurer shall surrender the existing salvage title to the department.
