Introduction to Titling an ATV in Ohio
In Ohio, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) must be titled and registered with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) before they can be operated on public lands or trails.
To title an ATV with a bill of sale, you will need to provide proof of ownership, which can include a bill of sale, a manufacturer's certificate of origin, or a previous title.
Gathering Required Documents
To title an ATV with a bill of sale in Ohio, you will need to gather several documents, including the bill of sale, a completed application for certificate of title, and proof of identity.
You will also need to provide proof of Ohio residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement, and proof of liability insurance, if applicable.
Filling Out the Application
The application for certificate of title must be completed accurately and signed by the seller and buyer, if applicable.
You will need to provide information about the ATV, including the make, model, and vehicle identification number (VIN), as well as information about the seller and buyer.
Submitting the Application
Once you have gathered all the required documents and completed the application, you can submit it to the Ohio BMV or a deputy registrar's office.
You will need to pay the required title fee, which is currently $15, and any additional fees for registration or other services.
Receiving the Title
