Illinois ATV Registration Fee Calculator

ATV/OHV registration in Illinois is handled by the Illinois DNR (usage stamp); SOS titles and costs $15.5 per year. 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 Illinois?

Yes, for use on public lands and trails — Illinois's OHV program charges $15.5 per year. ATVs used exclusively on your own private property are typically exempt.

Can I ride a registered ATV on the road in Illinois?

Generally no — OHV registration does not confer street-legal status. Limited road crossings or special local ordinances may allow short segments; street-legal conversion is a separate (and in many states unavailable) process.
