Michigan ATV Registration Fee Calculator

ATV/OHV registration in Michigan is handled by the Michigan DNR (license) + SOS (title) and costs $26.25 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 Michigan?

Yes, for use on public lands and trails — Michigan's OHV program charges $26.25 per year. ATVs used exclusively on your own private property are typically exempt.

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

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.
