I heard that a sticker is required to ride in ONF. Anyone got any info?

If you are talking about the green DMV decal, then I think it is. I have heard it from several people that it is required but I don't think they really enforce it. I have yet to put my decal on my bike and I ride out to ONF all the time.

The green sticker is issued with your Florida Title and is required by law on all OHV in the state of florida if operated on PUBLIC land.

Section 317.0002, Florida Statues, states, "It is the intent of the Legislature that all off-highway vehicles purchased after the effective date of the "Florida Off-Highway Vehicle Titling Act" (July 1, 2002) and all off-highway vehicles operated on public lands be titled to allow for easy determination of ownership."


I went to get a sticker for my sons 2006 PW50 that I bought used (I had a bill of sale) and they will not give me a title. I have to get the original owner to submit a MCO (Manufactures Certificate of Orgin) to the state pay the 37.50 fee and sales tax so he can get the title then transfer it to me.


If your buying a used machine and it is newer that 2001 and you want to ride it at ANY public area (Croom, ONF) make sure you get a title.

the title is still held by the bank so do ihave to wait till i pay it off to get one. also i have heard if you carry a copy of the regeistration with you, you will be ok. i have ridden ONF before and never seen a ranger or other wheelers for that matter.

You should still have a title but it will show the lienholders name (bank).

I just posted what the law states.

What they do at ONF and Croom is up to them, but at some point they will start enforcing this law.

Yes. They have been warning people for months. I'm not sure, but I think the ranger said as of Jan. 07 they will start enforcing it. I would check the Forestry web sites.

The Rangers had been putting out that the money for the green stickers was to support the trails / Looks like Florida decide to line thier pockets with the tax revenue instead of going back into the trails
