What are the laws in California regarding ATVs?
See the California State website for more information. It is the sole responsibility of all riders to obey and meet all laws regarding the operation of an ATV. (http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/elcentro/recreation/ohvs/caohv.html) California does require that all vehicles that are operated in public lands must be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The registration fee is $50 per vehicle and is valid for a two year period. Contact the DMV or your local ATV dealer for this permit. Non-Resident Permit: You will need to purchase a special “Nonresident OHV Permit” if you are not a California resident AND your off-highway vehicle or snowmobile is not registered in your home state. Your state’s plate or sticker must be clearly visible on the vehicle.
