Bills of Sale in Iowa
Iowa requires a bill of sale for motor vehicle private sales. Iowa charges 5% one-time registration fee (in lieu of sales tax) on vehicle purchases. The buyer must transfer the title within 30 days at the county treasurer's office.
Iowa does not charge ongoing annual sales tax on vehicle purchases — the 5% fee is collected once at the time of title transfer.
