All-Terrain Vehicle Ordinance

While we encourage you to read the entirety of the ordinance, so you are fully informed, here is a quick run-down on it!

Vehicles covered in this ordinance include 4-wheelers, side-by-sides (Gators, Rangers, Mules, etc.) and golf carts.
ATV’s must be 65 inches or less in length and have a dry weight of 2,000 pounds or less.
All ATV operators MUST be 18 years old and hold a valid driver’s license.
All ATV operators MUST have a copy of their valid driver’s license on file with the permit- the permit will not be issued until all listed operators have given City Hall a copy of their license.
ATV’s may operate on controlled-access highways within the corporate limits. (Neb. RS 60-6,356)

How to get your permit:

Visit us down at City Hall and fill out an application and pay the $50 registration fee ($25 renewal or replacement fee).
Please bring the following with you: a valid driver’s license for everyone applying to be on the permit, proof of liability insurance (insurance must cover personal injury and property damage), and a full description of the ATV.
Once the City Administrator approves your permit and all documentation is on file, the permit will be issued.

What you need on your ATV:

The permit must be displayed prominently on the rear of the ATV.
All ATV’s must have a “bicycle safety flag” that must be at least 5 foot above the ground. This flag must be triangular, at least 30 square inches, and must be “Day-Glo” in color.
A well-maintained operating system, brakes, muffler, and United States Forest Service qualified spark arrestor.
