Colorado Law Regarding OHV Registration and Use

The use of OHVs on public lands is subject to Colorado law.

Licensed, street-legal vehicles and motorcycles - No additional registration is required.

Unlicensed OHVs (such as off road motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, dune buggies etc):

• Colorado resident
  • the OHV must be registered with Colorado Department of Parks and Outdoor Recreation.

• Out-of-State resident

  • Out-of-state residents who bring OHVs into Colorado must purchase a non-resident OHV permit to operate here. OHV non-resident permits can be purchased online at:www.parks.state.co.us/parksstore or call (303) 791-1920 for more information.

If you live in Colorado click here, to renew your Off-Highway Vehicle Registration, Snowmobile Registration or Boat Registration online.

If you live OUTSIDE of Colorado click here, to purchase your Non-Resident Off-Highway Vehicle Permit or Snowmobile Permit online.

The fees generated by registering unlicensed vehicles go into a State OHV Fund that is used to build and maintain riding opportunities in the State.  The registration process also enables law enforcement to track stole vehicles and return them to their owners.

Licensed, street legal vehicles can be used on all State Highways, County roads and legal public access roads on public lands. 

Unlicensed but Registered OHVs such as ATVs and dirt bikes cannot be driven on State Highways.  They may be driven on some County roads if the individual County has passed an ordinance allowing such use.

No vehicles may be driven on private land unless you have the permission of the owner or there is a public access easement on the road.  A landowner is not required to fence or sign their property to warn you against trespassing.  It is your responsibility as a recreationist to know where you are and avoid private land unless you have permission.
