Decal required for nonresidents to ride in Arizona, purchased only through AZGFD Out-of-state residents wishing to legally ride their off-highway vehicle and support OHV trail maintenance, education and law enforcement ef- forts in Arizona can purchase a non- resident OHV decal. The decal was supported and pushed by the OHV riding community during the 2019 legislative session and was signed into law by Gov. Doug Ducey. The law requires nonresident OHV own- ers to purchase a decal to operate the machines within the state. All OHVs designed by the manufac- turer primarily for use over unimproved terrain and that weigh 2,500 pounds or less are required by law to display a valid OHV decal to operate on pub- lic and state trust lands. This includes "street legal" OHVs that meet these two requirements. Before the law was passed, non- resident OHV owners could ride their machines within the state for up to 30 days only if their state had a similar in-state resident decal program. There is no longer a grace period allowing nonresidents to op- erate without an Arizona decal and owners are now required to pur- chase a decal before operating their machines within the state. Those caught riding without a current de- cal can be fi ned. Both resident and nonresident OHV decals cost $25 (plus a processing fee) and are good for one year from the purchase date. While the resident OHV decal can be purchased at any Arizona Department of Transportation Mo- tor Vehicle Division offi ce or at www. servicearizona.com, the nonresident OHV decal can only be purchased on- line through an Arizona Game and Fish Department portal account, which can be created at www.azgfd.gov by click- ing "My Account."
