Selling privately in Colorado
In Colorado, title and registration are handled by your county motor vehicle office under the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles. A completed bill of sale documents the sale price, odometer reading, and both parties' details, and it supports the title transfer alongside the signed-over title.
Odometer disclosure is required on Colorado vehicle and motorcycle sales, and notarization is not required. Colorado gives buyers a longer window than most states: the title transfer should be completed within 60 days of the sale. Keeping your signed bill of sale is helpful because Colorado sales tax on a private vehicle purchase is collected at registration and is based on the price paid.
Colorado-specific notes: Odometer disclosure is required for vehicle sales in Colorado. Title must be transferred within 60 days of sale.
The buyer must register the vehicle within 60 days of purchase.
Federal law requires accurate odometer disclosure for vehicles less than 20 model years old.
