Tomorrow’s the day!!! Senate Bill 63 becomes the law and the counties who have opted in will be ready to assist you in registering your side by side! Huge shout out to Johnson County Clerk Sallee Ann Holbrook for staying on the phone all day and giving us blow by blow updates about the implementation of the new law.
Let’s take it from the top;

H)insurance
I)$25 for the sheriff for inspection

2)About the tax issues

A)If you have proof that you paid taxes when you purchased your side by side, take it with you to the clerk’s office.
B)If you do not have proof of the sales tax you paid when you purchased your vehicle, you will have to pay taxes (6%) at registration .

3) You must have proof of insurance when you go to the clerk’s office.

4)The registration itself is $10

5)Registration does not apply to four-wheelers or dirt bikes.

6)You cannot have a farm exemption and a tag, it is one or the other.

7)Registration is not mandatory.

We at First Frontier Appalachian Trails are so grateful for our Senators and Legislators that have gone the distance to give us every tool, including this new law, to grow this economic development opportunity in Eastern Kentucky. Senator Brandon Storm and Representative Chris Fugate as well as all the others who sponsored this bill and promoted its necessity across the committees and both houses , you all are phenomenal and we are beyond blessed to be the recipients of such amazing representation! Erik Hubbard, you are tireless and passionate and above all appreciated!
LETS DO THIS EASTERN KENTUCKY!
