So I finally found the perfect ATV for me at a great price and got it today with a legit title and a home-made bill of sale. She signed the title and got it notarized so it's ready for me to fill out and apply for my own. I have some questions though:

I bought the quad in Ohio and it currently has an Ohio title. I am working in Ohio and go to school in Georgia. I am a Texas resident, however, the quad won't be in Texas for at least 2 years. What state do I need to get the title in?

Once titled to me, what state do I need to register it in to be legal for public lands (national forest parks and whatnot)?

What price do I put on the back of the title? A buddy of mine put $0 for his car and said it was a gift so he didn't pay any taxes. My dad is pretty certain Texas has passed a law making gift taxes more than if I just claimed the value. Anyone know anything about that?

Thanks!

 

Sounds to me like you need to talk to the DMV. I would register it in the state that you are going to be spending the most time in, not sure if that is Georgia or Ohio. I would not worry about Texas title/registration until you move back there..

 

is ur license in texas? if so, id register it in texas. also, for the cost, put 400 dollars. not much to tax on there.

 

yeah license is texas. i plan on researching online and talking to someone at the DMV in OH and TX but I figured someone around here might know in the mean time. Thanks!

 

The ATV needs to be registered wherever your license and car are registered.

 

thanks CJM, thats what i was looking for. ia ctually just called Ohio DMV and they said it has to be done where i have residency anyway so its all good now. thanks!
