Connecticut ATV Registration Fee Calculator
ATV/OHV registration in Connecticut is handled by the Connecticut DMV and costs $30 per 3-year cycle. Snowmobiles register under the same program at similar rates. Rules differ sharply from road vehicles: most states require OHV registration only for riding on public lands or designated trails, and street use generally isn't allowed regardless.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to register an ATV in Connecticut?
Yes, for use on public lands and trails — Connecticut's OHV program charges $30 per 3 years. ATVs used exclusively on your own private property are typically exempt.
