I guess to make sure my butt is covered later, I'm gonna go ahead and pay the sales tax and pay the registration.  I little bit of money could save me alot of money and headaches later.

I had the first dealer to say it did apply to hunting.  The second dealer said only farming.  They both said that if I was exempt from sales tax then I had to sign a form saying I would ride it only on private land and it wouldn't be resistered.  I told them both that I would use it mostly for hunting but would also be trail riding in the summer too.  The first dealer said that I would not have to pay tax on it, and the second dealer said that I wouldn't have to pay tax if I signed the form and said I was using it for farming (which I'm not), but if I wanted to ride it on legal public dirt roads just go ahead and pay the tax and resistration fee.

Right now I'm looking to purchase a Honda Rancher in a week or two.  I've been looking around and one dealer I went to last week told me that if I'm using it for hunting then I'll be exempt from paying sales tax.  Well, I will be using it for hunting.  Today I went to another dealer price checking and they went to give me an "out the door" price and it had sales tax on it.  I mentioned what the other place told me last week and they said that if I was "tax exempt" then I couldn't get it registered and would get a big fine if caught riding on legal dirt roads without it being registered.  Now, the last atv I've had was back in '95 and I sold it a few years later.  I did'nt know anything about having them registered and all that.  So my question is...when you get it registered is there a sticker you put on your atv somewhere like a car?  Can you still register it and be tax exempt too?  I will be using it for hunting but will also do some trail riding and will be on a public dirt road from time to time.  Thanks.
