Arizona Form 38-1306 — Bill of Sale

Two Arizona forms get confused. Form 38-1306, the Title Transfer Bill of Sale, is the MVD's bill-of-sale form, used for Arizona-titled vehicles when the original title cannot be produced. Form 96-0236 is the Title and Registration Application — the form the buyer files to title and register, not a bill of sale. A key money point: Arizona charges no Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) on a private-party ("casual") sale; the ~5.6%+ rate applies only to dealer purchases, and every owner instead pays the annual Vehicle License Tax at registration.

About Form 38-1306

Official name: Arizona Title Transfer Bill of Sale (Form 38-1306) — and Form 96-0236 Explained

Issued by: Arizona Department of Transportation — Motor Vehicle Division

Purpose: A bill of sale documents the price, odometer, and parties for the private sale. Form 38-1306 specifically substitutes for a missing title on Arizona-titled vehicles; Form 96-0236 is the buyer's title/registration application filed with it.

When required: A bill of sale is recommended for every private sale (and Form 38-1306 is required when the seller cannot produce the title). The buyer must apply for title within 15 days of purchase to avoid late penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a bill of sale required for a private car sale in Arizona?
It is not strictly mandatory, but strongly recommended. Arizona provides Form 38-1306 (Title Transfer Bill of Sale) specifically for when the seller cannot produce the original title on an Arizona-titled vehicle; otherwise any written bill of sale with the standard fields is accepted alongside the title.
Does Arizona charge sales tax on a private vehicle sale?
No. Arizona's Transaction Privilege Tax is a business tax and casual private-party sales are exempt (A.R.S. §42-5001). The ~5.6%-plus rate applies only to dealer purchases. On a private sale you instead pay the annual Vehicle License Tax (VLT) at registration, based on the depreciated original MSRP.
What is the difference between Form 38-1306 and Form 96-0236?
Form 38-1306 is the Title Transfer Bill of Sale (a bill-of-sale substitute for a missing title). Form 96-0236 is the Title and Registration Application — the buyer's form to title and register the vehicle. Many sites mislabel 96-0236 as a bill of sale; it is not.
