Maryland ATV Registration Fee Calculator
ATV/OHV registration in Maryland is handled by the MDOT MVA (one-time title) + Maryland DNR (trail registration) and costs $10 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.

Good to know
- Two-part system: a one-time MVA title + decal ($35 + $5, plus 6.5% excise tax) for all off-highway vehicles purchased since late 2010, and a $10/yr DNR registration only if you ride DNR public-land trails.
- Snowmobiles fall under the same MVA titling; there is no separate snowmobile registration.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to register an ATV in Maryland?
Yes, for use on public lands and trails — Maryland's OHV program charges $10 per year. ATVs used exclusively on your own private property are typically exempt.
Can I ride a registered ATV on the road in Maryland?
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.
