Texas ATV Registration Fee Calculator

ATV/OHV registration in Texas is handled by the TPWD (decal); TxDMV (title) and costs $16 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

  • $16/yr TPWD decal (Sept–Aug year) needed only for public OHV venues — plain private-land riding needs no decal. Titling through TxDMV is mandatory ($33 in emissions counties, $28 elsewhere); OHVs can't be road-registered.
  • No snowmobile program.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to register an ATV in Texas?

Yes, for use on public lands and trails — Texas's OHV program charges $16 per year. ATVs used exclusively on your own private property are typically exempt.

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

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.
