Bills of Sale in Ohio
Ohio requires a bill of sale for motor vehicle private sales to support title transfer at the Ohio BMV. Ohio's title transfer process requires the seller to sign the back of the title and complete an odometer disclosure. The buyer must transfer the title within 30 days.
Ohio charges 5.75% state sales tax on vehicle purchases, plus county tax (which varies). Private sales are subject to sales tax based on the purchase price.
