About the ATV Bill of Sale
An ATV bill of sale documents the sale of four-wheelers, quads, and all-terrain vehicles. ATVs occupy a grey area in vehicle titling law — some states treat them like motor vehicles with full title requirements, others have ATV-specific registration, and a few states do not require title for ATVs at all. Our form includes engine displacement, model designation, and whether the unit is currently titled or only registered.
When to Use This Form
Use the ATV bill of sale for all-terrain vehicles, side-by-sides (UTVs/SXS), four-wheelers, and quads. Also appropriate for three-wheeled ATVs. Check your state's ATV titling requirements before completing the sale.

ATVs and the federal odometer rule
The federal odometer law only reaches vehicles built mainly for road travel (49 U.S.C. 32101), and a trail ATV is not one of them. West Virginia's DMV, for instance, puts off-road vehicles not titled for highway use on its list of classes that need no mileage statement.
Still write down the hours or mileage if the machine has a meter. It is part of what the buyer is paying for.
ATV titles and taxes differ by state (examples we checked)
- West Virginia: every ATV since July 1, 1989 and every UTV since December 28, 2010 must be titled, but road registration is optional. A Special Purpose Vehicle plate for permitted roads costs $16 a year.
- South Dakota: an ATV must be titled, and one bought in South Dakota pays the 4% motor vehicle excise tax.
- Oklahoma: ATVs, utility vehicles and off-road motorcycles pay excise tax of 4.5% of the price, at least $5.
- Indiana: a bill of sale can prove ownership of an off-road vehicle bought before January 1, 2010.
- Nebraska: the DMV has its own title rules for ATVs, minibikes and UTVs, and an affidavit to verify ownership of one.
- Vermont: the registration application asks ATV owners for the cylinders, the number of wheels and the engine power.
What to record for an ATV or UTV
- The VIN or serial number, and whether it matches any title or registration.
- The make, model, year and engine size in cc.
- Whether it is titled, registered, or neither, and in which state.
- Hours or miles if it has a meter, and any known damage or repairs.
