Maine ATV Bill of Sale Overview

Maine does not title ATVs but requires registration through the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW). Maine is an excellent ATV destination with over 6,000 miles of ATV trails maintained by local ATV clubs. Registration is required for all ATVs regardless of where they are operated (including private property). The state's extensive trail system is one of the best in the Northeast.

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

Maine ATV Registration & Titling Requirements

All ATVs in Maine must be registered through IFW — even those used only on private property. Registration can be done online, at town offices, or through authorized agents. Since Maine does not title ATVs, the bill of sale is your primary ownership document.
