Colorado Vehicle Bill of Sale Form

Use our Colorado Vehicle Bill of Sale to record the sale of a vehicle and protect both buyer and seller.

Updated May 8, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Brooke Davis

A Colorado motor vehicle bill of sale is a document that finalizes the transaction when you buy or sell a vehicle in the state. This legal form authorizes the buyer to transfer the title into their name and claim full vehicle ownership.

If you are the buyer, you must take the completed vehicle bill of sale to one of the Colorado Department of Revenue’s Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices to transfer the title into your name. You will likely need the signed title, a valid driver’s license, and other documents to complete the transaction.

The bill of sale is not valid unless both the buyer and the seller sign it.

If the vehicle is newer than 2011 and under 16,000 pounds, an Odometer Disclosure Statement must be attached to the bill of sale.
