    • A minimum width of 50 inches
    • A minimum weight of 900 lbs.
    • A wheelbase over 61 inches

If your ORV meets the requirements listed above,

  • It is now considered a WATV and will be classified and registered as such.
  • Receiving a metal tag (plate) and issued an off road tab and an on road tab if applicable.
  • The title will be issued (or reissued) to show as modified for on road use.
  • Both registrations are to be maintained and are renewed in one process resulting in an updated registration tab each year to be placed on the metal street tag (plate).

Before the WATV can be titled and registered it must be fitted with all required street legal equipment and inspected, becoming “Modified for On Road Use”. The inspection document will be turned in along with receipt for the inspection and the original ORV title (or MSO if new and never titled) and reissued as a WATV title.
