All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) follow the same rules as regular cars when it comes to transferring ownership, getting a title, setting up liens, and paying taxes and fees. Money collected goes into the state's general revenue fund. If someone bought a used ATV after August 28, 2014, and that ATV was previously called an off-highway vehicle before that date, the person can use a notarized bill of sale to prove they own it if no title was ever issued.
