Home Legal Documents Bill of Sale Boat Ohio

Ohio Boat Bill of Sale Template

Use an Ohio Boat Bill of Sale to record the sale of a boat and protect the buyer and the seller.

Published March 10, 2023

An Ohio boat bill of sale is a legally binding document that outlines property transfer between the buyer and the seller. Specific information is required on these documents, which include the buyer and seller’s signatures and other details describing the boat.

It’s important to understand which details must be documented on the Ohio vote bill of sale to ensure it’s legally binding. Using a boat bill of sale template is the best way to ensure the document is clear and provides all the details necessary to facilitate property transfer.

Ohio Boat Bill of Sale Requirements

You will find that no official bill of sale form is available from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (DNR); however, you may create your own boat bill of sale. A boat bill of sale can prove vessel ownership in some circumstances (see below). As such, it is important that bills of sale contain all of the following:

  • The names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and signatures of the buyer and seller
  • The make, model, and year
  • The length of the vessel
  • The hull identification number, or HIN
  • Indication if there is an outboard motor
  • The purchase price
  • The sales date
  • A general boat description

While some BMV and DNR forms contain an official penalty of perjury statement, most do not. Since there are no official bill of sale forms, you can add a statement if you so wish, but it is not required. However, the state does take perjury seriously, as indicated by ORC Section 2921.11 (A), which states, “(n)o person, in any official proceeding, shall knowingly make a false statement under oath or affirmation, or knowingly swear or affirm the truth of a false statement previously made, when either statement is material.”

After Purchasing a Vessel

For sellers:

  • You must provide the buyer with sufficient proof of ownership. This can include the manufacturer’s certificate of origin, a bill of sale (see requirements above), a notarized receipt, or a previous registration form.

For buyers:

  • All sailboats and recreational boats, including inflatable boats and paddle crafts, must be registered through the Ohio Department of Natural Resource’s Division of Watercraft (DNR). However, any vessel owned by a non-resident using it in the state for less than 60 days will be exempt, as are commercial crafts.
  • Fill out an application for new vessel registration, or Form DNR 8460R. Submit it to the DNR for registration along with a legally-recognized proof of ownership and proof of the HIN provided by the seller. You can register the boat in person, through a registration agent, or by mail. An Ohio vessel registration lasts for three years.
  • Vessel registration fees are completely dependent on boat length and propulsion type.
    • Motorized canoes or boats less than 16 feet long – $33
    • Boats less than 16 feet propelled by sail – $38
    • Boats at least 16 feet, but less than 26 feet long if motorized – $48
    • Boats at least 16 feet, but less than 26 feet long if propelled by sail – $53
    • Boats at least 26 feet, but less than 40 feet long if motorized – $63
    • Boats at least 26 feet, but less than 40 feet long if propelled by sail – $68
    • Boats at least 40 feet, but less than 65 feet long if motorized – $78
    • Boats at least 40 feet, but less than 65 feet long if propelled by sail – $83
    • Boats 65 feet or longer if motorized – $93
    • Boats 65 feet or longer if propelled by sail – $98
  • If you own a hand-propelled vessel, such as a canoe or rowboat, you may opt for an Alternative Registration, which means you will only require a single registration decal instead of one for each side. The fee is $20.
