Selling privately in Florida
Florida provides form HSMV 82050 (Notice of Sale and/or Bill of Sale), which doubles as an odometer disclosure statement. A completed bill of sale records the price, date, and both parties' details for the title transfer through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
Odometer disclosure is required on Florida vehicle and motorcycle sales, and notarization is recommended but not required. The buyer should title and register the vehicle within 30 days of the purchase. Florida collects 6 percent state sales tax, plus any county surtax, on the purchase price at registration, so a signed, accurate sale price is worth keeping.
Florida-specific notes: Florida law requires sellers to file form HSMV 82050 (Notice of Sale and/or Bill of Sale). Notarization is recommended but not required. The form also serves as an odometer disclosure statement.
The buyer must register the vehicle within 30 days of purchase.
Federal law requires accurate odometer disclosure for vehicles less than 20 model years old.
