Ohio Revised Code Title XLV. Motor Vehicles Aeronautics Watercraft § 4519.04

(A) Upon the filing of an application for registration of a snowmobile, off-highway motorcycle, or all-purpose vehicle and the payment of the tax therefor, the registrar of motor vehicles or a deputy registrar shall assign to the snowmobile, off-highway motorcycle, or all-purpose vehicle a distinctive number and issue and deliver to the owner in such manner as the registrar may select, a certificate of registration, in such form as the registrar shall prescribe. Any number so assigned to a snowmobile, off-highway motorcycle, or all-purpose vehicle shall be a permanent number, and shall not be issued to any other snowmobile, off-highway motorcycle, or all-purpose vehicle.

(C) Unless previously canceled, each certificate of registration issued for a snowmobile, off-highway motorcycle, or all-purpose vehicle expires upon the thirty-first day of December in the third year after the date it is issued. Application for renewal of a certificate may be made not earlier than ninety days preceding the expiration date, and shall be accompanied by a fee of thirty-one dollars and twenty-five cents.

Notwithstanding section 4519.11 of the Revised Code, of each thirty-one dollar and twenty-five-cent fee collected for the registration of an all-purpose vehicle, the registrar shall retain not more than five dollars to pay for the licensing and registration costs the bureau of motor vehicles incurs in registering the all-purpose vehicle. The remainder of the fee shall be deposited into the state treasury to the credit of the state recreational vehicle fund created by section 4519.11 of the Revised Code.
