Vehicle Bill of Sale in West Virginia

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 West Virginia law says

Selling a vehicle: bill of sale and title	For a used vehicle with a West Virginia title, both the seller and the buyer sign the back of the title, and the buyer submits an Application for Certificate of Title (Form DMV-1-TR). A notarized bill of sale (or the DMV Bill of Sale, Form DMV-7-TR) is needed if the price paid is below 50% of the NADA Clean Loan book value; otherwise tax is charged on book value. Any notarized bill of sale or DMV-7-TR must include copies of both parties' driver's licenses. Fees include a $15 title fee and 6% titling tax (or $30 if the net price is under $500). For non-dealer vehicles two years old or newer, tax is based on book value regardless of price. The DMV page does not state a buyer's deadline to title.
