What’s in it

AI summary If a person inherits a snowmobile, ATV, or boat from a spouse who passed away, they will no longer have to pay the fee to transfer the title. Currently, people must pay the county recorder a small fee to change the ownership name in these situations. This change makes that specific cost unnecessary for surviving spouses.1

Read the official explanation

Under current law, when ownership of a snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle (ATV), or vessel is transferred by operation of law, such as by inheritance, order in bankruptcy, insolvency, replevin, or execution sale, the transferee must pay a required certificate of title fee as part of the application process to transfer ownership. The fee is paid to the county recorder. This bill requires that if the transferee is the surviving spouse of the deceased owner, the county recorder must waive the required fee. The title fee for snowmobiles and ATVs is $10 and the title fee for vessels is $5.
