I just bought an ATV and I need help with getting it registered.
================
I can help you with that. Do you need information on what types of vehicles are considered an all terrain vehicle?
Yeah, that would be helpful.
Okay. An ATV is classified as any self-propelled vehicle that is manufactured for off road use. These vehicles are typically less than 70 inches wide and weigh less than a 1,000lbs.
Would you like more information on this subject?
No. That's fine. I don't need it.
================
Where can I get information on the topic of ATV registration?
I can answer any questions that you have. You also have the option of going on our website and searching under Registration for more information.
================
I bought my atv out of state and paid the sales tax there. Will I qualify for some sort of credit towards the payment of the New York State sales tax?
Yes. You can apply for a credit when you apply for registration in New York. However, you can only be eligible for this credit if New York and the state where you paid sales tax have a reciprocal sales tax agreement.

III didn't buy from a dealer. I bought from a private individual. What would be considered an acceptable proof of ownership in my case?
Since the atv was transferred by a private individual, an acceptable proof of ownership would be a New York State or out of state transferable registration or title certificate signed by the previous owner to transfer ownership to you.
