This includes scooters, motorcycles, boats, personal water crafts, all-terrain vehicles, lawn mowers, tractors, and even certain kinds of construction and farming equipment. As for a certificate of title, many of these same motor vehicles are not even required to be titled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">According to In.Gov:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size has-medium-gray-color\">\u201cA resident of Indiana is required to obtain an Indiana certificate of title for all vehicles, except for the following vehicles that are specifically exempt under Indiana law from being titled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are the vehicles listed:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u27a0 Motor-Driven Cycles <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Motor-driven cycles are not motorcycles, which do require a\ncertificate of title. In contrast, they are vehicles designed for just one\nrider, do not travel on more than 3 wheels, do not exceed 35 mph, and meet\nseveral other design requirements. Common examples of motor-driven vehicles\nwould be motorbikes, scooters, mopeds, and similar motorized rides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u27a0 Water Crafts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Water crafts that are not required to be registered with the state are also exempt from being titled. Water crafts are any type of vehicle that travels on water; but not all water crafts are exempt from registration and titles. Those that do not require a title are those that are non-motorized, such as canoes, kayaks, rowboats, paddle boats, inflatable lifeboats, and some fishing boats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u27a0 Off-Road Vehicles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all off-road vehicles can forgo a certificate of title;\nonly those that were acquired before 2010 are eligible. Off-Road vehicles are\nthose that can travel on various inclement terrains for long distances. Examples\nof off-road vehicles include ATV\u2019s, amphibious vehicles, ground effect air\ncushion vehicles, recreational off-highway vehicles, and vehicles powered by\nnatural elements like wind and sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u27a0 Snowmobiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is not common to own a snowmobile in a state\nwhere snowfall is so inconsistent and low, some do. And for those that do, they\ndo not need a certificate of title. Also included with snowmobiles are OTV\u2019s,\nalso known as other-terrain vehicles. These are motorized vehicles that can\ntravel through mud, swamps, snow, ice, marshlands, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u27a0 Special Machinery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Any type of motorized special machinery is not required to\nhave a title. Examples include ride-on lawn mowers, tractors, golf carts, and\nany vehicle made by someone other than a manufacturer that does not exceed 25\nmiles per hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voluntarily-Titled <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although these motor vehicles listed above are not required\nunder law to be titled, an owner can choose to obtain a certificate of title if\nthey want to. It is entirely optional, and depends mostly on personal\npreference. However, if a vehicle owner does volunteer for a title, they must,\nfrom then on, adhere to all regulations and requirements set forth by the\nstate, even after the title expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here\u2019s What In.Gov Has to Say About Volunteer Titles: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-medium-font-size has-medium-gray-color\">\u201c\u2026once a title has been issued, the vehicle is subject to\nall title requirements under Indiana law, including an administrative penalty\nfor future transfers of ownership, until the title is surrendered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No Title Junk Car Buyers<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.junkcarsindy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/GC\u2019s-Junk-Cars-Indianapolis-Indiana.png\" alt=\"Cash for Junk Cars 317-608-2188\" class=\"wp-image-89\" width=\"282\" height=\"144\"\/><figcaption>Cash for Junk Cars 317-608-2188<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call GC\u2019s Junk Cars at 317-608-2188<\/strong> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.junkcarsindy.com\">sell a junk car for cash in Indianapolis<\/a>, today!
