About bill of sale templates

A bill of sale is one of the most commonly used documents in private-party transactions. It serves as written proof that a sale occurred, documents the agreed price and condition, and protects both seller and buyer if a dispute arises later. For vehicle transfers in most US states, a bill of sale is required or strongly recommended when submitting a title transfer to the DMV.

A complete bill of sale should include: a precise description of the item (for vehicles: year, make, model, color, VIN, and odometer reading), the full legal names and addresses of both buyer and seller, the sale price and payment method, the date of sale, a statement of condition (as-is or any specific warranties), and signature lines for both parties. Some states require notarization — California, Louisiana, Nebraska, Maryland, New Hampshire, West Virginia, and Montana require it for vehicle bills of sale.

For vehicle sales, the as-is clause is important: it means the buyer accepts the vehicle in its current condition and the seller makes no warranties beyond what is explicitly stated. If you are selling with any warranty — for example a 30-day engine guarantee — that must be spelled out clearly in the document.

Common mistakes: omitting the VIN for vehicle sales (which can cause title transfer rejection at the DMV), not recording the odometer reading (required by federal law for vehicles under 10 years old), and failing to make two copies so both parties keep a signed original.

FreeContract bill of sale template covers the standard fields required in most US states. For high-value transactions such as real estate-adjacent sales, business assets, or vehicles above $25,000, consider having a lawyer review the document before signing.

Frequently asked questions

Does a bill of sale need to be notarized?

It depends on the state and the type of property. For vehicles, states like California, Montana, and West Virginia require notarization. Most states do not require it for general personal property sales. Check your state DMV website for vehicle-specific requirements.

Is a bill of sale the same as a title?

No. A title is the official government document proving legal ownership; a bill of sale is a private receipt documenting the transaction. For vehicles, you typically need both a signed title and a bill of sale to complete a transfer at the DMV.

What is an as-is clause?

An as-is clause states that the buyer accepts the item in its current condition, with no warranty from the seller unless explicitly stated. This is standard for most private-party sales and protects the seller from claims after the transaction.

Do I need a lawyer for a bill of sale?

For routine private-party sales of personal property or vehicles, most people use a template without legal help. For high-value transactions — business equipment, collectibles above $10,000, or any sale where the parties disagree on condition — having a lawyer review the document is worth the cost. This template is a starting point, not legal advice.
