The City of West Wendover would like to help educate the community on the new proposed City of West Wendover City Ordinance regarding Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV).  This is to ensure safe and enjoyable use of your vehicles so make sure to spread the word to your fellow OHV/ATV users.

The new city ordinance (2024-03) follows the current requirements under the Nevada Revised Statutes which is Chapter 490 (Off Highway Vehicles).  Additionally, the new ordinance closely resembles the OHV ordinance which is in effect for the City of Elko.

We would like to remind the community that it is required that the operator of an OHV must be at least 16 years old and hold a valid state issued driver’s license along with the OHV having current state registration through the DMV, having proper insurance documentation, and that the OHV operator wears a helmet.

Also, if your OHV does not meet the registration requirements under NRS 490.0825 for legal street use, the OHV must use an appropriate and dedicated route within the community and be operated at the appropriately indicated speeds.
