Selling privately in Utah

When you sell a vehicle, boat, trailer, or other titled property privately in Utah, a completed bill of sale records the price, date, and the legal names of both parties. That is the documentation Utah Division of Motor Vehicles relies on to process the title transfer. Utah also requires an odometer disclosure for vehicle and motorcycle sales, which is built into every document.

Utah does not require notarization, though either party can choose to notarize for added protection. After the sale, the buyer should complete the title transfer with Utah Division of Motor Vehicles promptly after the sale. Keep your copy of the completed bill of sale as proof of the transaction.

Utah-specific notes: Odometer disclosure is required for vehicle sales in Utah. Utah does not set a fixed deadline in days. Under Utah Code 41-1a-703, the buyer must apply for a new certificate of title and obtain a new registration before operating the vehicle on a Utah highway.

Utah law (Utah Code 41-1a-703) requires the buyer to obtain a new title and registration before operating the vehicle on a Utah highway, rather than within a fixed number of days.

Federal law requires accurate odometer disclosure for vehicles less than 20 model years old.
