OHV Registration

[jtygartjr]

OHV Registrations. was wondering how many members here have their stickers. I got mine last year on a family member telling me that its been required for the pas 3+ years but not enforced. I got mine last year and renewed it march for April 2014-2015. Think its funny tho i have yet to see anyone else have it on the trails or in the group at the anniversary run at the china wall. Was just wondering anyone else have it here or know of it.

Don't need it for vehicles licensed for the hwy.

Yep. It's not very clear- I'm guessing that it's that way so it's in the state's favor.

I have one on my dirt bike :D My understanding is that you would need to display a valid OHV sticker, if you are traveling on a designated "OHV route". It's a law that's been in place since like 1992, but never enforced by anyone! It seems that the forest service is now trying to enforce it on "street legal" dirt bikes, but not so much on the trucks/jeeps yet. But don't be surprised if they start mentioning it to you out on the trails. Part of the big thing is they wanted to get an MOA (memorandum of understanding) with ALL the different agencies out there. This way, they all tell users the SAME thing, as far as enforcement goes.

Street licensed trucks/jeeps don't need an OHV sticker.

Keep in mind, getting an OHV sticker for your plated 4x4, is a donation to Stay The Trail.

Basically, if you have a "licensed/plated" vehicle, then it's NOT an OHV registration needed, it's an OHV "permit" that would be required.

from the COHVCO web site:

The statute:
33-14.5-112. Off-highway use permit
(b) On and after January 1, 1991, the owner of every vehicle required to be registered pursuant to article 3 of title 42, C.R.S., and the owner or operator of every motor vehicle and off-highway vehicle from another state or country, when such vehicle is being used for recreational travel upon designated off-highway vehicle routes, shall obtain and display on such vehicle an off-highway use permit.
This statute would require plated vehicles on designated OHV routes to have a permit. A vehicle registered pursuant to article 3 of title 42 would be a street legal, plated vehicle. OHV registrations and OHV permits both cost $25.25, but are not the same thing.
33-14.5-101. Definitions.
(4) "Off-highway vehicle route" means any road, trail, or way owned or managed by the state or any agency or political subdivision thereof or the United States for off-highway vehicle travel.
Funds collected from OHV registrations and permits go into a dedicated fund for the State OHV program and last year over $4,000,000 of grants were given out to the FS, BLM, state and local governments for OHV trail projects.

Also, if you have a valid Colorado Hunt or Fish permit, you have contributed to the CO SAR fund.
