Arizona ATV Bill of Sale Overview
Arizona is one of the top ATV destinations in the country, with vast desert terrain and an extensive OHV trail system. The state requires both titling and registration of ATVs through the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) MVD. An OHV decal is required for operation on all public lands. Arizona has strict age restrictions — children under 10 are prohibited from operating ATVs on public land, and riders ages 10-15 must have an approved safety certificate.
Whether you're buying a used ATV, selling a UTV, or transferring a dirt bike or snowmobile in Arizona, a properly completed bill of sale protects both parties and documents the transaction for titling, registration, and tax purposes.

Arizona ATV Registration & Titling Requirements
Arizona requires all ATVs to be titled and registered through the MVD. The buyer must bring the signed title, bill of sale, and proof of insurance to an MVD office. Arizona also requires an OHV decal ($25) for any ATV operated on public lands. The OHV decal program funds trail maintenance and development through Arizona State Parks. UTVs may qualify for limited on-road registration with required safety equipment.
Important: Keep Your Bill of Sale
Your bill of sale is a critical document for proving ownership, calculating taxes, and completing title or registration transfers. Keep the original in a safe place alongside any title documents and registration receipts.
