How do I register my OHV to be “street legal”? (i.e., to operate it on paved or maintained roads)

Depending on how you plan to operate your OHV in Arizona, you have two options:

• Option 1: If you operate primarily off-highway, then your vehicle is eligible for a reduced Vehicle License Tax (VLT) of $3.00 and waiver of the registration fee. The following requirements must be satisfied:
  • You must purchase an OHV Decal. An OHV owner may request a free motor vehicle registration when paying for the OHV Decal.
  • The vehicle must be designed by the manufacturer primarily for travel over unimproved terrain and have an unladen weight of 1,800 pounds or less.
  • You must affirm that your vehicle is equipped for highway use and will be primarily used off-highway.
  • Registered vehicles must comply with mandatory insurance requirements.
  • Vehicle emission testing requirements may apply.
• Option 2: If you operate primarily on improved roads and highways (such as city driving), then you are required to register your vehicle, including payment of all fees, through the standard registration process. You must also satisfy the following requirements:
  • If your vehicle is designed by the manufacturer primarily for travel over unimproved terrain and has an unladen weight of 1,800 pounds or less, you must purchase the OHV Decal.
  • You must affirm that your vehicle is equipped for highway use.
  • Registered vehicles must comply with mandatory insurance requirements.
  • Vehicle emissions testing requirements may apply.
