About this template

An **ATV / UTV transfer** is, paperwork-wise, halfway between a car bill of sale and a boat sale. Most US states do **title** ATVs and UTVs, but some only **register** them as off-highway vehicles (OHV) with an OHV decal and no title. The transfer document captures the same core data either way — **VIN / serial**, year, make, model, engine displacement, hours / miles, and color — plus the purchase price and the seller's title-free warranty. The **VIN** for most ATVs and UTVs is 17 characters on modern units (post-1995 production); on older units it can be shorter and stamped in two places (frame + engine). Buyers should compare the VIN on the document against the **frame stamp** and the **title** before paying. **As-is** is the norm. Private-party ATV / UTV sales rely on the buyer's pre-purchase inspection — compression on each cylinder, oil + diff fluids, CVT belt wear, tires, suspension, frame for cracks. The bill of sale should state as-is explicitly and list any **known defects**. **Use tax** applies in nearly every US state at title or OHV-registration transfer; the buyer files within the state filing window (commonly 14–30 days) and the bill of sale documents the price. Undervaluing the price on the bill of sale to dodge tax is **tax fraud** and the state can reassess against a published value. **Trailer** — if a trailer is included, the trailer has its own title in most states; transfer it on a separate bill of sale (or on this one, naming the trailer VIN explicitly). **OHV vs road-legal** — most ATVs and UTVs are off-highway only; a few states (e.g. Utah, Arizona, Texas) allow on-road registration with additional equipment (turn signals, mirrors, horn, brake light) and a separate license-plate. The buyer should not assume road-legal status without checking the state department of motor vehicles' OHV rules. **Notary** — not every state requires a notarized bill of sale for an ATV / UTV, but several do (Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Wyoming for motor vehicles broadly). Default to notarized — it removes one question at the title office.

When to use it

  • Private-party ATV (quad) sale.
  • Private-party UTV (side-by-side) sale.
  • Family / estate transfer of an OHV.
  • Dealer-arranged consignment sale where the bill of sale is between buyer + private seller.

What to include

  • Buyer + seller full legal names and addresses.
  • Vehicle: type, year, make, model, VIN, engine, hours/miles, color.
  • Accessories and any trailer included.
  • Price and condition (as-is or with limited warranty).
  • Title-free warranty by seller.
  • Buyer responsibility for use-tax filing + titling.
  • Signatures and notary block.

Frequently asked

Most do (Illinois, Texas, Florida, Michigan, etc.) and a few only OHV-register (California, Colorado for older units). Check the state DMV / DNR. Where titled, the seller signs the back of the title; where OHV-registered, the seller signs the registration card.
