Free New Brunswick ATV Bill of Sale
An ATV (all-terrain vehicle) bill of sale in New Brunswick records the private-party transfer of a quad, four-wheeler, or side-by-side (UTV/SxS). Service NB handles ATV registration for units operated on public land or trails. Off-road-only ATVs may not require provincial registration, but a signed bill of sale is always the essential proof of ownership.

New Brunswick ATV Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Tax Details
15% HST applies to private motorcycle sales in NB. HST is calculated on the declared sale price — NB does not apply a wholesale book-value floor for private transactions.
Inspection Requirements

New Brunswick ATV Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Full legal name and address of buyer and seller
- ATV make, model, year, engine displacement (cc), and VIN or frame serial number
- Odometer or hour-meter reading
- Sale price and payment method
- Both parties sign and retain a copy of the bill of sale
- Buyer registers the ATV with the appropriate provincial authority if it will be used on public trails
Common Pitfalls
- Confusing ATVs with street-legal motorcycles — different registration rules apply in most provinces.
- Missing the serial/VIN number — ATVs have frame serial numbers, not traditional VINs in all cases.
- Not confirming whether the ATV is designated for trail/public-land use, which triggers mandatory registration.
Pro Tip
New Brunswick's short riding season (May through October for most riders) means motorcycle transfers cluster in spring and early summer. Plan your transfer early in the season to avoid lineups at Service NB offices, and confirm your insurance is set up for immediate coverage on the day of transfer.
