No registration shall be required for an OHRV operated solely on land owned or leased by the owner of the OHRV. Except for temporary registrations under paragraph V, all OHRV registrations shall expire on July 1 in each year. The executive director shall collect a fee for each registration as provided in RSA 215-A:23.

V. All OHRVs except conventional motor vehicles registered for highway use [and those registered pursuant to paragraph IV] shall be registered at the fee provided in RSA 215-A:23, and shall be furnished a registration plate or decals of a design and color as chosen by the executive director. Said registration plate or decals shall be attached securely on the front and rear of the vehicle, in an unobstructed manner, as high as possible or at a location designed by the manufacturer. A nonresident registering an OHRV for a calendar month from May to October shall be issued a temporary registration by the executive director. Such registration shall be valid only for the calendar month for which it is issued. The executive director shall determine the design, color, and placement of temporary registration decals. Temporary registrations may not be transferred.
