Transfer of Ownership
Upon the sale or other disposition of the bicycle, the owner is required to sign the registration certificate as the seller and write in the date of the transfer. The person purchasing or otherwise acquiring the bicycle shall within 10 days of taking possession, deliver the completed certificate to the City of Chico Finance Department and apply for the transfer of license to his or her name. If the new owner wishes to register the bicycle without the transfer paperwork, a new license must be purchased.
