Off-road vehicles or all-terrain vehicles on public lands and trails
To use your ATV on public lands and state-designated trails and routes, you will need an ORV license and an ORV trail permit. These documents are issued by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Visit DNR eLicense for more information.
ORVs or ATVs on private land and trails
You don’t need any state-issued permits to use your ATV on privately owned property or trails. When riding on someone else’s private property, be aware of any liability issues that may affect you in the event of a crash or damage to the property.
Titling ORVs or ATVs
In Michigan, when you buy an ATV, you are issued an “off-road title.” A title verifies you own the vehicle. An off-road title means the vehicle can’t be operated on public streets because it was built exclusively for off-road use and lacks the necessary safety equipment for on-road use. (Michigan law does make an exception for ATVs that are legally modified and retitled for on-road use as an assembled vehicle.)
