Minnesota ATV Registration Fee Calculator

ATV/OHV registration in Minnesota is handled by the Minnesota DNR (deputy registrars) and costs $60 per 3-year cycle. 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 Minnesota?

Yes, for use on public lands and trails — Minnesota's OHV program charges $60 per 3 years. ATVs used exclusively on your own private property are typically exempt.

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

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.
