I am a Mayland resident and looks like I will may purchase a quad in either WV or PA. PA requires the quad to be registered and licensed to be able to ride in PA state parks. I plan to maybe ride in all three states. Does anyone know if purchased in WV, I would probably have to transfer the title to MD would I then have to register seperatly in PA inorder to obtain a license? This is a very confusing question. I just want to be straight before I make the purchase. I guess this would be similiar to purchasing in PA, transfering to MD would I have to pay tax twice?

 

if you are unsure of what carries over from state to state, check with your local secretary of state office, they have all the info you need,

 

I was looking into the same information, and read that as long as you have your quad registered with your state, and Pa honors it, you will be fine. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/atv/laws.htm This is the page i was looking at, hope it helps.

 

Thanks for the help, I just found out that only 1 county in MD requires registration. Therefore, I still have to register in PA to ride in PA. I was mainly concerned about the sales tax similiar to buying a vehicle where sometimes you end up paying tax twice.

 

Virginia doesn't require registration of ATV's. Does this mean you have to get some sort of permit to ride in PA or even WV?

 

yes, in pa, you are required to register and pay a fee to be legal. MD no registration, however, permits are required on state operated trails. check the DCNR websites
