Page OverviewAll-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
You are off the hook. Because most ATVs do not meet the Department of Transportation's (DOT) normal safety standards, registration and titling are not required. The lone wince to this is that your ATV is restricted only to off-road travel. If you want the option of road travel, you must modify your vehicle so that it can pass an inspector's report confirming that it is suited for road use, and conforms to all DOT safety standards.
Trailers
You register a trailer just like you register a car, minus, of course, an odometer statement. Complete a title application. Bring it to your nearest DMV office along with a notarized title and proof of insurance for the vehicle that will be pulling the trailer. The exact cost will vary based on your county's tax rate, but expect to pay in the vicinity of $75.
