Free Utah Bill of Sale Form

Use our Utah Bill of Sale to record the sale of any item and protect both buyer and seller.

Updated May 22, 2022

A Utah bill of sale is a form that records the sale or trade of an item from one person to another. Like a standard retail receipt, a bill of sale proves that personal property has transferred ownership between two people. While it’s typically used for selling or purchasing items, a bill of sale can also be used to document a trade of one valuable item for another.

To protect yourself, you should use a bill of sale in the state of Utah when transferring the following items:

  • a car, boat, motorcycle, or any other type of vehicle
  • a gun or other type of firearm
  • or any livestock or animal such as a horse

On a bill of sale form, the person receiving the item is referred to as the buyer, and the person transferring ownership of the item is referred to as the seller.

Utah Vehicle Bill of Sale Requirements

In Utah, a bill of sale is required by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in order to register and title a vehicle or vessel that was purchased in a private party transaction. The state provides Form TC-843, which must be filed with your local DMV office at the time of title transfer.

Language Requirements

DMV forms, including bills of sale, are not written in Spanish or any other language. However, you may provide your own interpreter for filling out forms, as long as he or she meets the state requirements. There is also a directory of translators provided online that are pre-approved by the state.

Number of Copies

Because a bill of sale is required to sell and purchase a vehicle in Utah privately, you must submit a copy to the DMV. The buyer and seller should also retain a copy in case they need to reference it later.

For Vehicles

You may use the form provided by the state or draft your vehicle bill of sale. It must be typed or handwritten in ink only if you prepare your own. Your bill of sale, which does not require notarization, must have the following details to be acceptable:

  • The names, contact information, and signatures and the buyer and seller
  • The vehicle identification number or VIN
  • The make, model, and year of the vehicle
  • The selling price
  • The purchase date
  • A vehicle description.
  • A description of your trade-in, if any
  • The trade-in allowance, if applicable

After Purchasing a Vehicle

Besides drafting a proper bill of sale, many other documents are involved in the registration and titling of vehicles and vessels in Utah.

Dealership Sales

For buyers:

  • Your Utah dealer will submit all your titling and registration documents for you. The dealer will also provide you with a temporary registration to drive your vehicle legally while you wait for your permanent registration to arrive in the mail.

Private Sales

For sellers:

  • You must provide the buyer with the vehicle’s title within 48 hours of the sales transaction. You must sign the title, and if it is in more than one person’s name, all will have to sign.
  • If the vehicle is ten years younger, you must also complete an Odometer Disclosure Statement, or Form TC-891, and pass it to the buyer along with the current registration and title and the current safety and emissions inspection certificates.
  • You must then report the vehicle as sold to the DMV. You can do this by fax, mail, or online through the Motor Vehicle Portal. You must include the vehicle’s make, model, year, plate number, and VIN in your notification.

For buyers:

  • Utah offers a temporary registration option so you can get your vehicle inspected and registered before you get your permanent plates.
  • You have 60 days to register and title your vehicle with the DMV after moving to Utah. You can complete both processes at the same time. You will need to get a VIN inspection performed if you register your vehicle in the state for the first time. A safety inspection will do if the accurate VIN is listed on your safety inspection certificate.
  • You will have to take your vehicle for a safety inspection at any one of the many Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS)-approved safety inspection stations. There is a maximum fee of $20 per inspection. Emissions inspections are only required in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, Weber, and Cache counties.
  • To register your vehicle with the DMV, you will need to visit your local location with the vehicle’s title, your Certificate of Inspection, or Form TC-661, for safety or smog tests, if applicable, a Bill of Sale, or Form TC-843, a Vehicle Application for Utah Title, or Form TC-656, proof of insurance, and payment of registration and titling fees.
  • You will use the bill of sale to prove to the DMV the price you paid for the vehicle, and they will use the amount to determine the use and sales tax you owe. If for any reason there is no bill of sale, the sales and use tax will be calculated based on the “Fair Market Value” of the vehicle, with consideration for depreciation and the vehicle’s condition. If you wish to dispute the value assigned to the vehicle, you may obtain a certified appraisal from a bonded and licensed state auto dealer at your own expense.
  • Vehicle registration fees are based on the vehicle’s year, weight, and home county since sales and tax rates differ in each county. There are also additional fees to consider when registering, including a duplicate registration fee of $4 and a temporary permit fee of $6. The Age-based Uniform Fees, which are determined by the year of the vehicle’s manufacture, are designated as follows:
    • Less than 3 years old: $150
    • 3 years old to less than 6 years old: $110
    • 6 years old to less than 9 years old: $80
    • 9 years old to less than 12 years old: $50
    • 12 years old or older: $10
  • If you are active military and stationed outside of Utah, you may continue to carry a Utah registration and use Utah plates. You are also entitled to a few different registration fee exemptions, but you will have to contact the DMV to determine your eligibility. If you are stationed in Utah, you may continue to use your registration and plates from your home state as long as they are current. However, if you purchase a vehicle in Utah, you will still be expected to pay use tax.
  • If you lose or damage your Utah title, you may submit an Application for a Duplicate Title, or Form TC-123, along with the applicable fee.

Utah Gun Bill of Sale Requirements

In Utah, it is not required to carry a permit or register any firearm, including shotguns and handguns. As such, you are not required to provide the state with a gun bill of sale to record your sales transaction. However, it is wise to draft a bill of sale for the records of all parties concerned. Ensure that your document has the following information:

  • The buyer’s and seller’s names, contact information, and signatures
  • The make, model, caliber, and serial number
  • The purchase price
  • The sales date
