Rhode Island ATV Registration Fee Calculator
ATV/OHV registration in Rhode Island is handled by the RI DEM (Boat Registration & Licensing office) and costs $25 per year. Snowmobiles register under the same program at similar rates. 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.
