Illinois ATV Bill of Sale Overview

Illinois does not title ATVs but requires registration through the Illinois DNR for any ATV operated on public land. The state has strict regulations including mandatory safety courses for riders under 18 and adult supervision for riders under 12. Illinois offers OHV riding at several state-managed sites and private parks.

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

Illinois ATV Registration & Titling Requirements

ATVs in Illinois must be registered through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) if operated on public land. Registration requires a completed application, bill of sale or proof of ownership, and the registration fee. Since Illinois does not title ATVs, the bill of sale is the primary ownership document.
