A Florida Bill of Sale is a document used to legally document the sale and purchase of any item in Florida. Sometimes, you must use a specific bill of sale to correctly record all the required information, such as when selling or buying a car, boat, or firearm.
Some Florida Bills of Sale must be notarized before ownership can be legally transferred to the buyer.
