Free Quebec ATV Bill of Sale
An ATV (all-terrain vehicle) bill of sale in Quebec records the private-party transfer of a quad, four-wheeler, or side-by-side (UTV/SxS). SAAQ 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.

Quebec ATV Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Tax Details
QST at 9.975% applies to private motorcycle sales. Tax is assessed on the higher of the declared sale price or the SAAQ Guide de référence estimated value for the motorcycle.
Exemption: Gifts between spouses or direct-line family members may qualify for a QST exemption with a sworn declaration.
Inspection Requirements
No mandatory safety inspection for private motorcycle sales in Quebec. Pre-purchase mechanical and safety inspection is strongly recommended — check tires, brakes, chain/belt, and frame integrity.
Quebec 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
Quebec motorcycle sales move smoothly when both parties understand the plate rule upfront. Settle the plate question before the test ride — either remove them before showing the bike, or make clear in writing that the sale includes the plates. Keep your VD-619 copy and bill of sale together; they are your evidence that you were not the owner on the day of any post-sale incident.
