Street Legal ATV Registration

Which State to Register in?

Your bike make and model will determine where we register it. For most bikes that aren’t financed, we choose Montana because there is zero sales tax, meaning you will have the most affordable registration.

Other states we register in are Arizona, Utah, and South Dakota. This all depends on the vehicle year, engineer CC’s, and ownership proof you have.

When it comes to helping you make your ATV street legal, it is vital that you submit the right information or if you aren’t sure, just call us!

For Arizona plates and titles, we have the following criteria:

1. You have a bill of sale. You are not financing.
2. 120cc engine or less
3. You hold a Certificate of Origin (MCO). Bike was purchased from a private party
4. Electric motor

For South Dakota plates and titles, we have the following criteria:

1. Gas powered. Not electric
2. Not a trials bike, pit bike, or mini bike.
3. Over 119cc
4. Title, Transferable Registration (from your state), MCO, or a Bill of Sale (if financed)

Do I Owe Sales Tax on an ATV?

South Dakota sales tax is 4%.
Arizona sales tax is 6%.
Both are calculated using the ATV vehicle purchase price.

5 Star Registration will invoice you for tax if you owe it.

Street Legal ATV Registration FAQs

• Is ATV registration mandatory to be considered Street Legal?

With certain exceptions, every owner of an ATV needs to make it street legal for off-road usage. Contact us to learn more about who is required to get an ATV license and how to do it. Keep in mind that all states require ATV riders to have a valid driver’s license.

• Should I have the ATV registration all the time with me while riding?

Yes, your registration card should be with you at all times while riding your ATV on public roads. If you are pulled over by a law enforcement officer and happen to be driving an unregistered ATV, you will face a hefty fine and criminal charges. 

• Are there communities that don’t allow the use of street legal ATVs?

While street legal ATVs can be used anywhere, there are communities that have banned the use of ATVs on public roads due to concerns about noise, fumes, and the potential damage that these off-road vehicles can cause to the public roads.
