Louisiana ATV Bill of Sale Overview
Louisiana requires ATVs to be titled through the OMV (Office of Motor Vehicles) but does not require registration for off-road-only use. Louisiana has some of the highest combined sales tax rates in the nation when state and local taxes are added together. The state prohibits children under 10 from operating ATVs and requires supervision for riders ages 10-15.
Whether you're buying a used ATV, selling a UTV, or transferring a dirt bike or snowmobile in Louisiana, a properly completed bill of sale protects both parties and documents the transaction for titling, registration, and tax purposes.
