Free Florida ATV / Off-Road Vehicle Bill of Sale Forms

Florida ATV Bill of Sale Overview

Florida requires ATVs to be titled through the FLHSMV (Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles) but does not require registration for ATVs used exclusively off-road. Florida has extensive ATV riding opportunities with over 2,000 miles of OHV trails in state forests, WMAs, and private riding parks. The state has unique safety laws — riders under 16 must have a safety certificate, and no child under 6 may ride as a passenger.

Whether you're buying a used ATV, selling a UTV, or transferring a dirt bike or snowmobile in Florida, a properly completed bill of sale protects both parties and documents the transaction for titling, registration, and tax purposes.

Florida ATV Registration & Titling Requirements

Florida requires ATVs to be titled through FLHSMV. A bill of sale is required when purchasing privately to transfer the title and pay applicable sales tax. ATVs used only off-road do not need to be registered. However, if you plan to operate on roads (in municipalities that allow it), on-road registration and insurance are required. Title transfer should be completed within 30 days.
