Montana ATV Registration Fee Calculator

ATV/OHV registration in Montana is handled by the county treasurer (MT MVD; FWP trail passes) and is a one-time $61.25 permanent registration. 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 Montana?

    Yes, for use on public lands and trails — Montana's OHV program charges a one-time $61.25. ATVs used exclusively on your own private property are typically exempt.

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

    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.
