A number of states have implemented ATV Registration Stickers that must be attached to them. These are not licenses, but an easy way for states to make a few extra dollars. Does anyone have any experience with police stopping ATVs for not having a sticker? Thanks, Jim

Yea, had a Conservation agent stop us during Deer season. He couldn't get us own any Hunting Reg's so he wrote a couple of guys a ticket for no State Registration. A $150 fine. Glad I had mine

It's my understanding that Texas only requires it if you are riding on public owned land.

hmm....never heard of such a thing

In the state of California you have to have a Green sticker on your quad. it cost $25.00 every two years. there is also a red sticker for curtain riders. if you get stopped by a ranger you better have one or you get fined.

Minnestoa just raised its fees for ATVs. We pay $53.50 for registering a new ATV for the first 3 years for public lands and another $14.50 for a private use (Agriculture) permit which is good for the life of the ATV by the owner. This allowes the rider to use it for Ag purposes only. After the first three years are up we pay $51.00 every three years. Comes down to about $20.00 a year if you add all the fees up for for 6 years.

I then add an $18.00 Wisconsin fee every year for out of state.

I can't complain because both of the states I ride in keep providing great, safe, and expanding riding areas.

I understand most people really hate to pay the fees, but think about it. Many of us live in states that have zero programs of any sorts. They relie on Federal programs in the Federal park system... and we all know how teh Forest Service can be when thinking about ATV's in general. The state programs cost money, and they have to pay their own way.. so a few dollars here and there are worth it if you get some benefit.. such as trail building and maintenence etc. They also go to pay for training programs etc. Here in VA, where there is no program available, we are at a great disadvantage. I would readily welcome a registration program if it meant that the State would finally recognize that we do exist, do vote, and would like to see the funds used to promote trail building and the State's involvement in working with land owners to get them to open more land to trail riding. I mean, why should Virginians have to travel to West Virginia, NC and PA for decent riding opportunities? I'd sure like to spend those dollars in ourown state if we could...

Post your state and maybe we can clear up some confusion for you. In California it depends on what you use your atv for.

The Minnesota DNR just opened its newest OHV Recreation Area near Appleton, MN. OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) parks are open to ATVs both I and II, OHMs (Off Highway Motorcycles) and ORVs (Off Road Vehicles) which are jeeps and trucks.

This is the second such park in the state. Appleton is 300 acres located out in rural farm country. It provides trails, b-rooms, shelters, and riding areas. Its not big but a good weekend destination where there is relatively no public land due to agriculture.

The state has another OHV park located near Gilbert, MN. This riding area is around 1300 acres and was built from an old iron ore mine up in Northern Minnesota. Again this park is open to most off road vehicles.

I feel like the money I have spent is coming back to me one way or the other in Minnesota.

We have countless other trail systems and userfriendly ATV resources.

Does anybody know what the state of Nevada requires for out of state registered atv's? How much, how long and where to purchase permits? Thanks for any info.

-------------------------
The worst day on the trail is still better than your best day at work.

Nevada has no registration. I ride with a guy that is from Nevada and when he is stopped he shows them his Nevada Drivers Liscense and gets off.

Utah has a yearly OHV registration of $17. Now, that $17 doesn't include property tax....... it works out to about $50 - $75 a year for a freakin sticker, which doesn't really mean anything, you still have to have your "REGISTRATION PAPERWORK" with the 4 wheeler at all times. Keeping them dry and attached is always a challenge. In fact, in Utah, you better not even get caught with trailered ATV's at a gas station without a registration, unless you have a bill of sale that day. Below is the state fee breakdown.

I like Minnestoa, they use a type of reciprocity for ATVs just like most states do for automobile registration/licence. For example if my ATV were reigistered in Wisconsin I could ride in Minnestoa without getting registration as long as I wasn't there for over thirty days, similar to their auto policy.

Be careful what you wish for. Here in Michigan, we pay 16.25 a year for an ORV sticker which gives us the right to ride on State land. BUT the DNR mis-directs our funds and uses them inappropiately,so essentially, its big governement screwing the working man as best as he can. We are so messed up here in Michigan, that im going to see an Attorney after the first of the year.

Being charged yearly ORV funds for safety courses, law enforcement, administration fees,trail maintenence, damage restoration is ALL fine,until you put this money in the WRONG hands and it gets used wrong.

Thanks flyin'... I am hoping to one day ride the trails out your way. The Paiute trails sound really nice.

ATV Registration in PA. cost $20.00 for 2 years. For your $20.00 you get a cute little registration plate w/expiration sticker (same size plate as a motorcycle) that you will have NO place to put it on the back of your quad. But it looks great in my desk drawer I do keep a copy of the registration and insurance card on the quad
"Gee officer the plate was there when I left"
