(a) Application for registration. Every ATV sold by a dealer shall be registered at the time of sale by such dealer. An application for an original registration of an ATV or any registration transaction other than a renewal may be made by mailing or delivering a properly completed application for such registration, the proper fee and appropriate documentation to any district office of the department or any office of a county clerk acting as agent of the commissioner for the issuance of ATV registrations.

(b) Evidence of ownership. In order to register an ATV, acceptable evidence of ownership must be submitted with the application for registration.
(c) Additional documentation required.
(d) Sales tax. A New York-registered motor vehicle or ATV dealer must collect all State and local sales taxes due upon the sale of an ATV and must certify that such tax has been collected. Such certification must be submitted with the application for registration. If the ATV has not been acquired from a registered New York dealer, evidence that the appropriate sales tax has been paid must be obtained and submitted before an ATV registration will be issued. In such cases, the sales tax will be collected and evidence thereof will be given by the district office of the department or the county clerk acting as agent of the commissioner for the issuance of ATV registrations.
(e) Registration number and validation sticker.
(f) Period of validity of registration. Every ATV registration issued shall expire on the August 31st after it has been issued, except that an ATV registration issued after April 1st of any year may be issued to expire on the August 31st of the year following the year of issuance. The expiration date of the registration shall appear on the registration certificate and the month and year of expiration shall appear on the validating sticker issued for that registration.
(g) Transfer of ownership. Upon the transfer of ownership of an ATV registered in this State, the transferor shall complete the transfer portion of the registration document and shall surrender it to the new owner. The transferor need not notify the commissioner of such transfer; however, he may surrender the number plate to any district office of the department or, upon payment of the required fee, to any county clerk acting as agent of the commissioner for the registration of ATV's.
(h) Fees. The fee for any original ATV registration shall be $10. The fee for the reregistration of any ATV shall be $10. The fee for renewal of any ATV registration shall be $10. Annual fees shall not be prorated, and such fees shall be applicable to a year or any portion of a year. The fee for a duplicate registration document, registration plate or validating sticker shall be $3. The fee for a plate surrendered to a county clerk shall be $1. In addition to the above fees, there shall be a fee of $7.50 whenever any ATV number plate is issued.
(i) Additional fee. On and after July 11, 2005, the commissioner shall collect an additional $15 for each individual resident and non-resident registration, and each renewal thereof. Such additional fee shall be deposited to the credit of the All Terrain Trail Development, Enforcement and Stewardship Fund as established by section 92-o of the State Finance Law. This additional fee shall also be collected from dealers at the time of original registration and at the time of each renewal.
