Off-road vehicle dealer

You must have a separate off-road vehicle dealer license for each business location if you:

  • sell any motorized vehicles (other than snowmobiles or watercraft) intended for use on trails or cross-country.
  • AND
  • don’t hold a Miscellaneous Vehicle Dealer license.

In one 12-month period, you may sell up to 4 vehicles that are registered to you without getting a license. However, the fifth sale—or the sale of any vehicle not owned, registered, or titled to you—is considered dealer activity and requires a license.
