ATVs & UTVs; require titling, and exempt from ad valorem tax when held by retailers on consignment or floor plan basis.
SB 2803 requires owners of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility task vehicles (UTVs, or "side-by-sides") to obtain a title from Mississippi's Department of Revenue starting in 2025 for newly manufactured vehicles. It exempts ATVs and UTVs held by retailers on consignment or floor plan (as dealer inventory) from property tax. The bill updates vehicle definitions to include ATVs/UTVs in Mississippi's titling law and aligns related tax provisions. This affects ATV/UTV owners needing titles and retailers managing inventory, with no new tax burden on dealer stock. The law was signed by the governor in March 2025.
