When a nonhighway vehicle is sold or ownership is being transferred, the nonhighway title must be assigned or re-assigned to the new owner. A vehicle that is titled as nonhighway cannot be issued registration, therefore liability insurance is not required as
prescribed by the Kansas Automobile Injury Reparations Act. MAKING APPLICATION FOR NON-HIGHWAY TITLE WITHIN 60 DAYS OF DATE OF PURCHASE The owner of a nonhighway vehicle must make application for nonhighway title within 60 days of date of purchase just like any other vehicle. Applications submitted on and after the 31st day must pay the late title penalty. EXCEPTIONS: 1.

INSURANCE CLAIM FOR STOLEN VEHICLE When an insurance company acquires a vehicle through the payment of a STOLEN vehicle (theft) insurance claim, the regular title will be assigned to the insurance company by the owner (VIN verifications will not be required on vehicles titled out-of-state, use a copy of the police report instead). The Salvage, Nonhighway or Nonrepairable Vehicle Title Affidavit, form TR-13, will be marked liability insurance discontinued. If the stolen vehicle is recovered with damage, a new Salvage title must be applied for that reflects that condition. All other insurance wrecked or damaged claim settlements must be titled as salvage or nonrepairable. NOTE: A NONHIGHWAY TITLE CANNOT BE ISSUED ON ANY TYPE OF TRAILER. An application for title and registration must be made and a license plate issued. SALES TAX The sale of a nonhighway vehicle is considered a retail sale. Such sale is therefore subject to Kansas sales or compensating use tax, and proof of tax payment is required before a title will be issued. VEHICLE OWNERSHIP TRANSFERRED TO AN INSURANCE COMPANY AS A RESULT OF AN INSURANCE CLAIM IS NOT A RETAIL SALE AND IS EXEMPT FROM SALES TAX. APPLICATION FORMS AND FEES A Salvage, Nonhighway or Nonrepairable Vehicle Title Affidavit, form TR-13, MUST be fully completed. The appropriate title application fee will be charged. If the application with an assigned title is not made within 60 days of the date of sale, late title application penalties will be due. If an out-of-state title is being submitted as the ownership document, an MVE-1 will be required.

VEHICLES WHICH MAY EXCEED THE STATUTORY SPECIFICATIONS OF ATV S, BUT ARE NONETHELESS CLASSIFIED BY THEIR MANUFACTURER AS OFF ROAD UTILITY VEHICLES WILL NOT BE REGISTERED.
