Page OverviewSnowmobiles and ATVs
Both groups are classified by state law as "off-highway vehicles" (OHVs). All OHVs manufactured after 1988 and used on the state's public lands or roads must be registered and titled, if you're a Utah resident. If you're a visitor, you must just register your OHV with the state if you use the vehicle more than 14 days per year within Utah.
To title and register your OHV, just follow the procedures outlined for cars or motorcycles. Titles cost $6.00, and registration fees vary according to the age of the vehicle. Your registration is valid for a year, and expires in the month you purchased the OHV.
Where to Put Your Stickers
Place your snowmobile registration decals on both sides of the hood, pan, or tunnel. For all-terrain vehicles, place a sticker on the front and on the rear of the vehicle.
Other OHV Rules
Be aware that all OHV riders under 18 must wear a helmet.
Also, you may only ride your OHV on private land when you have the land owner's permission.
The Utah Department of Natural Resources offers more information on the subject of OHVs.
Trailers
Only trailers that weigh more than 750 pounds must be registered. But it's a good idea to register any trailer, in case of theft or loss.
Simply go to your local DMV, and bring your title and VIN number. If you need a new title, you'll have to fill out the title application.
Fees
Registration fees depend on how old your trailer is. A title costs $6.00.
