Bills of Sale in Florida
Florida requires a bill of sale for private motor vehicle sales to support the title transfer at the Florida DMV. Florida also requires an Odometer Disclosure for vehicles under 10 years old. The buyer must transfer the title within 30 days of the sale.
Florida charges a 6% sales tax on vehicle purchases (plus county discretionary surtax), paid by the buyer at the tax collector's office when registering.
