Arkansas ATV Bill of Sale Overview
Arkansas requires ATVs to be titled and registered through the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA). The state offers excellent OHV riding on public lands, including the Ozark National Forest. Arkansas law requires riders under 12 to be supervised by an adult, and helmets are required for all riders under 16. The state's diverse terrain — from Ozark Mountains to Delta flatlands — provides varied riding experiences.
Whether you're buying a used ATV, selling a UTV, or transferring a dirt bike or snowmobile in Arkansas, a properly completed bill of sale protects both parties and documents the transaction for titling, registration, and tax purposes.

Arkansas ATV Registration & Titling Requirements
To register an ATV in Arkansas, bring the signed title, bill of sale, and applicable fees to your local DFA Revenue Office. Arkansas titles ATVs similarly to motor vehicles. The registration must be renewed annually. ATVs used only on private property are exempt from registration, but titling is still recommended.
