Unless otherwise exempted herein, no golf cart or off-road vehicle may be operated on a city street or alley until the golf cart or off-road vehicle is registered with the Police Department. In addition, an off-road vehicle shall not be operated on a city street or alley unless it is duly registered with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles and meets all of the standards, requirements, and regulations set forth in I.C. 14-16-1 et seq. The Police Department shall register all golf carts or off-road vehicles to be operated on city streets and alleys in the name of the owner upon the owner applying for such registration, upon the owner providing proof of financial responsibility covering the golf cart or off-road vehicle, upon an inspection of the golf cart or off-road vehicle by the Police Department which confirms that the golf cart or off-road vehicle is equipped as required by this subchapter and/or Indiana Statute, and upon the owner signing an acknowledgment that he or she received and read a copy of this subchapter. The registration of a golf cart or off-road vehicle shall be effective as of the date of registration and shall expire on December 31 of the year of registration. Upon being registered, a registration sticker for the current calendar year shall be issued by the city, which sticker shall be affixed to the left side of the rear of the golf cart or off-road vehicle as proof of registration.
