NON RESIDENT OHV PERMIT RULES
All vehicles operated off-highway on public lands in California are required to be (1) street-licensed or (2) registered as an off-highway vehicle (OHV). If you are visiting California from another state and your vehicle does not have a current registration from your home state, you must purchase a California Nonresident OHV Use Permit before you recreate on public lands. A title sticker or title plate is not registration.
The 2017 Nonresident permits will be valid from the date of sale through December 31, 2017. 2018 Permits go on sale mid November and are good during the entire 2018 calendar year only. You can order online or see a list of vendors HERE. The Nonresident OHV Use Permit fee is $30.
MORE If you are a resident of another state and your OHV has valid registration from that state, you do not need a California Green or Red Sticker or a California Nonresident OHV Use Permit. If your OHV does not have valid registration or the equivalent from your home state, you will need to get a $30 California Nonresident OHV Use Permit. Found HERE: A title is not registration. For states bordering California, the Oregon OHV Permit, the Nevada OHV Registration Decal, and the Arizona OHV Decal meet the requirement for OHV registration by residents of those states. States that do not have an OHV registration program are:
A non-resident from the remaining 34 states need not purchase California's permit as long as they can provide valid proof that they have a current registration or their home state's equivalent for their OHV. If a nonresident cannot provide valid proof of possessing such a document, they must purchase the California Nonresident OHV Use Permit.
