Vehicle Bill of Sale in Utah

A record of a private car, truck or motorcycle sale between a seller and a buyer. Many states transfer ownership through the signed title itself and use a bill of sale as proof of the price and date. Check your state's rules below: some require a specific DMV form or a notary.

What Utah law says

Selling a vehicle: bill of sale and title	The seller signs off on the title (both owners if joined by 'and'; one if joined by 'or'); no notary is needed. The seller should give a written bill of sale with both parties' names and addresses, the seller's signature, the vehicle description and VIN, the price and any trade-in; the DMV offers Form TC-843 (Bill of Sale). The seller must provide the title within 48 hours of the sale, and odometer disclosure (Form TC-891) is needed for vehicles under 20 years old. The seller should report the sale to the DMV (online, by mail with Form TC-502, or by phone). The buyer pays sales tax when titling and registering; without a bill of sale the DMV uses fair market value. The DMV page does not state a deadline for the buyer to title the vehicle.
