New Mexico ATV Bill of Sale Overview
New Mexico requires ATVs to be titled through the MVD and to have an OHV permit for public land use. The state's diverse desert, mountain, and forest terrain offers outstanding riding. New Mexico charges gross receipts tax rather than traditional sales tax.
Whether you're buying a used ATV, selling a UTV, or transferring a dirt bike or snowmobile in New Mexico, a properly completed bill of sale protects both parties and documents the transaction for titling, registration, and tax purposes.
