How to sell a ATV in Mississippi

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.

Seller steps

  1. Confirm you hold clear title. If a lender is on the title, get the lien release before you list it.
  2. Agree on the price and fill in the Mississippi ATV bill of sale above with the buyer. Record the VIN.
  3. Sign it. Signing in front of a notary is not always required in Mississippi, but offices ask for it often enough that it is worth the few dollars.
  4. Sign the title over to the buyer exactly as your name appears on it, and complete the odometer section on the title if the ATV has one.
  5. File a notice of sale or release of liability with the Mississippi Department of Revenue if Mississippi offers one, remove your plates if the state keeps plates with the seller, and cancel the insurance once the buyer has driven away.

Buyer steps

  1. Bring the signed bill of sale, the signed title and your ID to the Mississippi Department of Revenue.
  2. Expect to pay sales or use tax on the price shown on the bill of sale, plus title and registration fees.
  3. Register within Mississippi's deadline, commonly 10 to 30 days from the sale date, to avoid late penalties.

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.

Why a bill of sale matters for a ATV

  • 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.
