TITLE OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE

It is the intent of the Legislature that all off-highway vehicles purchased after the effective date of the "Florida Off-Highway Vehicle Titling Act" (July 1, 2002) and all off-highway vehicles operated on public lands be titled to provide for easy determination of ownership.

An "off-highway vehicle" is defined as any all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or off-highway motorcycle (OHM) that is used off the roads or highways of this state for recreational purposes and that is not registered and licensed for highway use pursuant to Chapter 320, Florida Statutes.

An "ROV" means any motorized recreational off-highway vehicle 60 inches or less in width, having a dry weight of 1,500 pounds or less, designed to travel on four or more non-highway tires, having non-straddle seating and a steering wheel, and manufactured for recreational use by one or more persons. The term "ROV" does not include a golf cart or low-speed vehicle.

To apply for title, the following items are required:
  1. One of the following proof of ownership documents:
    • Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin
    • Title Certificate (Florida or out-of-state)
    • Bill of Sale (must include the year, make and vehicle identification number)
    • Affidavit of ownership if purchased prior to July 1, 2002 (must include the year, make and vehicle identification number)
  2. Form 82040 - Application for Title, properly completed by applicant.
  3. Lien satisfaction (if applicable)
  4. Payment of sales tax. Proof of payment of sales tax is not required for off-highway vehicles purchased prior to July 1, 2002.
  5. Title fee
When an original or replacement title validation decal for an off-highway vehicle is needed (title was issued previously), the following documentation is required:
  1. Form HSMV 82054 - Application for Original or Replacement Title Validation Decal for an Off-Highway Vehicle.
  2. Title Validation Decal fee
NOTE: Effective September 1, 2009, most motor vehicle and driver license fees increased significantly. These fee increases were passed by the Florida Legislature and approved by the Governor to help balance the state budget. None of the additional money will stay with Pasco County Government or the Tax Collector's Office. For a list of the new fees visit Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' website at: www.flhsmv.gov.
NOTE: Off-highway vehicles will NOT be issued a license plate or registration decal; however a title validation decal will be issued.
