What is a Bill of Sale?

A bill of sale is a legal document that records the transfer of ownership of personal property from a seller to a buyer. It functions as a receipt and proof of purchase — essential for any private-party sale.

For vehicles, boats, and trailers, most states require a bill of sale when transferring title at the DMV or equivalent agency. For general property, it's strongly recommended for any transaction over $500 to protect both parties legally.

Key details recorded include: buyer and seller information, item description, sale price, date of sale, and signatures. Some states (Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, West Virginia, Maryland) additionally require notarization for vehicle transfers.
