RENO, Nev. - Local law enforcement and government officials want to remind Nevada drivers that all off-highway vehicles (OHVs) need to be registered.
OHVs include dirt bikes, all-terrain-vehicles, dune-buggies, snowmobiles, and “any motor vehicle used on public lands for the purpose of recreation.”
This new law went into effect on July 1st of this year but separate rules apply depending on when vehicles are purchased. Any OHVs purchased before July 1, 2012 must be registered by July 1, 2013, and titles are optional. However, vehicles purchased on or after July 1, 2012 must have titles and be registered within 30 days of purchase.
Registration applications are accepted and decals are issued by mail only.
