## Verified facts
- Arizona requires a valid OHV decal on public and state trust land for any vehicle designed mainly for unimproved terrain that weighs 2,500 pounds or less, including street-legal ones. The decal costs $25 plus a processing fee for residents and nonresidents alike and is valid for one year. Source: https://azstateparks.com/ohv
- Nonresidents have had to buy the Arizona OHV decal before riding since September 1, 2019, and each machine needs its own non-transferable decal. They can buy it online at ohv.azgfd.com, or in person at AZGFD offices in Kingman, Mesa or Yuma. Source: https://azstateparks.com/ohv
- A nonresident decal receipt or screenshot works as proof of purchase for up to 30 days while the decal is mailed, which takes two to three weeks. Source: https://azstateparks.com/ohv
- Under ARS 28-1179 a person under 18 may not operate or ride in an OHV on public or state land without a properly fitted and fastened helmet with a US DOT rating, and an adult may not allow it either. Source: https://www.azleg.gov/ars/28/01179.htm

## Corrections to claims found elsewhere
- "Rented UTVs in Arizona are exempt from the OHV decal and user indicia rules." → Arizona has no statutory exemption for rental vehicles in the indicia statute text, which is silent on rentals, and the state OHV page does not say whether rental or tour vehicles are covered. Confirm with the operator whether a rented machine already carries the decal. Source: https://azstateparks.com/ohv
- "Arizona law bans alcohol on OHVs." → Arizona State Parks' OHV rules page does not mention alcohol. Source: https://azstateparks.com/ohv-laws-regulations
- "Driving through a Sedona fee site without stopping requires a Red Rock Pass." → A pass is required when you leave your vehicle at a fee site, and the Forest Service page does not say whether driving through without stopping needs one.

- "Honanki Heritage Site requires advance reservations." → The Forest Service Honanki page does not mention reservations.
