The Minersville Borough Council voted unanimously to pass an ordinance that would make it legal to ride off-road vehicles on borough streets. The new ATV ordinance allows riders to travel into downtown from the nearby Famous Reading Outdoors ATV park and trails.
NON-RESIDENT REGISTRATION To legally operate an ATV in Pennsylvania that is registered in another state where Pennsylvania's registration is NOT honored, the ATV must also be registered in Pennsylvania. Proof of liability insurance is also required.
Class II ATVs (motorized off-highway vehicle, which travels on three or more inflatable tires and has a width which exceeds 50 inches or a dry weight which exceeds 1200 pounds) may be operated on state forest land ONLY if the trail is specifically posted open to Class II ATVs of a particular width and weight.
Registration is required for all All-Terrain (ATV) vehicles in Pennsylania, unless they are used solely for business or agriculture. If you plan to ride your ATV on property that is not owned or leased by you, you also must carry liability insurance. Proof of that insurance must be carried with you when you ride.
Liability insurance coverage is required for all ATVs that are required to have general registration. Proof of this coverage should be carried by the operator. The law does not specify a minimum dollar amount for this coverage.
For a privately bought ATV, you must send DCNR: A completed application for registration and title. Proof of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Fees. Pennsylvania sales tax or proof of payment.
