So You Want Your Golf Cart to be All Grown Up? How Much Does a License Plate Set You Back in Texas?
Ah, the humble golf cart. For some, it's a leisurely cruise around the course, a hair in the wind (or what little hair you have left) kind of vibe. But for others, it's a symbol of freedom, a two-wheeled chariot conquering the wild frontier... of your neighborhood.
But hold on there, Maverick (or should I say, Margaret) – before you take your golf cart on a joyride through suburbia, it needs to be properly licensed. No more scooting past Mrs. Henderson's prize-winning petunias like a bandit. It's time for your golf cart to become a respected member of the road (well, the very specific kind of road).
The Price of Street Cred: How Much is this Little Badge of Honor Gonna Cost?
The good news, my friend, is that getting your golf cart all licensed up won't break the bank. It's a lot cheaper than that fancy new driver you almost bought for your clubs (we've all been there). In fact, you're looking at a cool $14.75.
That's right, for less than a round of mini-golf, your golf cart can be a certified street legal machine. That's practically the price of a celebratory ice cream cone after you get your plate!
But Wait, There's More! (Because Apparently There Always Is)
Now, before you hightail it down to the local DMV with visions of golf cart glory dancing in your head, there's a teensy, weensy detail. Texas doesn't actually handle golf cart registrations. Instead, you'll be playing a game of county whack-a-mole, heading to your friendly neighborhood county tax assessor-collector's office.
They'll be the ones to hook you up with the magic license plate that transforms your golf cart from a glorified garden gnome to a streetwise stallion (or mare, depending on your cart's aesthetic).
So there you have it! For the price of a movie ticket, your golf cart can join the big leagues. Now get out there and cruise the streets (responsibly, of course) – because freedom, even on a golf cart, shouldn't be expensive!
