ATV / UTV Bill of Sale Template
An ATV or UTV bill of sale records a four-wheeler, side-by-side or other off-highway vehicle sale by year, make, model and VIN. Many states register off-highway vehicles through the DMV or the parks agency and want a bill of sale with the price; some do not title them at all, which makes this document the only ownership record. Pick your state and the form adapts to its rules.

Why a ATV bill of sale matters
- Off-highway vehicles are often sold without a title, so the bill of sale is the ownership chain.
- Many states require OHV registration and sales tax on the price shown.
- Theft is common; a signed bill of sale with the VIN proves lawful purchase.
- An as-is clause protects the seller once the buyer rides off.
Before you sign
- The VIN is usually stamped on the frame near the front, under the footwell or on the lower frame rail.
- Record the hour meter reading if there is one.
- List winches, plows, tracks and the trailer if included.
- Check your state's OHV registration rule; some require a title for anything newer than a certain year.
ATV / UTV Bill of Sale by state
Rules differ by state: some require a bill of sale for every sale, some only when the title has no price, and a few want it notarized. Pick yours for the exact rule, the form number and the agency.

Common questions
Do ATVs have titles?+
It depends on the state and the year. Many states title newer ATVs and UTVs, others only register them, and a few do neither. The bill of sale is accepted everywhere as proof of purchase.
Is a bill of sale enough to register an ATV?+
In states that do not title OHVs, usually yes, along with the VIN and sometimes a VIN inspection. In titling states you also need the signed title.
