No non-highway vehicle authorized under this chapter, shall be operated on any street in the Village unless the owner(s) thereof shall have first registered with the Village in accordance with the following requirements:
A. Registration of such vehicles shall be administered by the Village Administrator or designee. An application for registration may be made on a form prescribed by the Village. Said form shall include a statement under oath with penalties of perjury that the vehicle proposed to be registered meets the definition of non-highway vehicles as defined by the state statute or in this chapter and shall be accompanied by an annual registration fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) and proof of liability insurance for said vehicle having at least the same limits of coverage as required from time to time for motor vehicles under the mandatory insurance law of the State of Illinois.
B. Vehicles registered under this chapter and section shall be issued a sticker from the Village which shall be affixed to the rear of the vehicle and shall be viewable to a police officer from outside of said vehicle.
C. The registration of said vehicle shall be effective for a period of one year to start on April 1 of each year and shall be renewed annually by March 31 of each year thereafter in the same manner as the original registration, including the required proof of liability insurance. Any registrations made after the expiration of six (6) months from April 1 shall pay one-half of the annual fee.
D. The registration of said vehicles shall not be transferable in the event of a change of ownership. A new registration fee and application will be required from the new owner(s). Operation of any non-highway vehicle by a new owner while using the previous owner's registration sticker shall be a violation of this Ordinance. No refund of the original registration fee is allowed in the event of the change of ownership.
E. The registration of said vehicles shall be subject to the revocation by the Village Administrator or designee in the event of a violation of the requirements of 625 ILCS 5/11-1426.1 or any of the provisions of this chapter. A revocation of such registration shall be made in writing and shall set forth the provision(s) of the state statute or this chapter that has been violated. No refund of the registration fee is allowed in the event of the revocation of said permit.
F. In the event the registration of a vehicle is revoked due to the owner's failure to maintain the required liability insurance, the Village may reinstate the registration if; (1) the Village determines that the owner's failure to maintain insurance was not intentional, and (2) the owner provides documentation demonstrating that the required insurance coverage has been reinstated.
G. In the event the registration of a vehicle is revoked due to the owner's failure to fully comply with section 7-11-4(B) of this ordinance, the Village may reinstate the registration if; (1) the Village determines that the owner's failure was not intentional; (2) the owner repairs or modifies the vehicle to bring it in compliance with the requirements of section 7-11-4(B); and (3) the Village Administrator determines, upon reinspection of the vehicle, that the vehicle's violation has been corrected.
