OHV and Snowmobile Registration Announcement

Off-highway vehicle owners can now renew their registrations for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), off-road utility vehicles (ORVs), off-road motorcycles (ORM), and snowmobiles. The registration window opened Sept. 1 and closes Dec. 31, 2025. To renew a registration, visit the Iowa County Recorder’s office, or go to the Iowa DNR’s online licensing site. Allow 5-10 business days for online registrations to arrive in the mail.

Fees for OHV and snowmobile registrations support grant programs to develop and maintain off-highway vehicle parks and snowmobile trails in Iowa. Owners with new machines, or who have not yet registered their vehicles, need to go to the County Recorder’s office in their county of residence to begin the registration process. For information on OHV registration, renewals and nonresident permits, visit the Iowa DNR OHV registration page. For snowmobile registration, renewals and nonresident permit information, visit the Iowa DNR snowmobiles page.
