Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle Laws, Rules and Regulations
|
|
The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) is responsible for title and registration of motor vehicles in Arizona.
Title and registration are two different things. A title is proof of ownership, while registration allows you to operate a vehicle on public roads. For title purposes, ATVs are classified as off-road recreational motor vehicles. A title is required for ATVs.
If the driver of an off-road vehicle intends to drive on Arizona streets or highways, the vehicle must be properly registered. An ATV must be street legal before registration can be issued; some ATVs may require additional equipment or modifications in order to meet this requirement.

Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle Decal
|
|
Off-highway vehicle decal price set at $25 annually.
New state laws requiring purchase take effect January 1, 2009.
|
|
|
|
A coalition of state agencies has agreed on a price for the new Arizona off-highway vehicle (OHV) decal that will be required in Arizona to operate most ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, and other OHVs meeting certain criteria beginning in January, 2009.
The Arizona OHV Decal will cost $25 and will be issued annually through the Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). Revenues from the purchase of the decal will help better manage Arizonas exploding OHV use and help protect natural resources.
The Arizona OHV Decal is a part of new OHV laws taking effect January 1, 2009. The laws will require the annual purchase of the decal for any OHV designed by the manufacturer primarily for travel over unimproved terrain and weighing 1,800 pounds or less. After January 1, 2009 title and registration services and decals will be available at MVD offices. Beginning January 1, 2009 owners whose OHVs are currently titled or registered in Arizona may purchase the decal online at: www.ServiceArizona.com. The new laws also contain other provisions about titling, registration, equipment, and responsible operation.

Purchase of the decal is a user-play, user-pay fee that will allow the OHV to be legally operated in Arizona as well as in other states that have reciprocity agreements.
Revenue from purchases of the decal will be used in many ways to benefit Arizona OHV users. This will bolster the State Parks grant program that is used for damage mitigation, trail construction, habitat restoration and various other programs. Game and Fish will use funds to hire new law enforcement officers specifically for OHV enforcement. It is also creating new OHV education classes that can be taken by OHV users and may be court ordered for those found in violation of OHV laws. State Land will use a portion of the funds for law enforcement, habitat restoration and access across state trust lands.
Arizona Game and Fish Department, MVD, Arizona State Parks and Arizona State Land Department have worked cooperatively to determine a price that is reasonable for all users and were very happy its been set at $25.
Enactment of the laws was the end product of a huge collaborative effort between OHV groups, conservation and sportsmens organizations, government agencies and elected officials, who all worked together to achieve this positive outcome for Arizonas natural resources and outdoor recreation enthusiasts.
