Free Arizona Odometer Disclosure Bill of Sale
Federal TIMA (49 U.S.C. § 32705) mandates odometer disclosure on all qualifying Arizona vehicle transfers. The exemptions are vehicles 25 or more model years old (2001 or older in 2026) and those with a GVWR over 16,000 lbs. Arizona places the odometer disclosure section directly on the Certificate of Title, so sellers do not need a separate form — both parties sign the title's odometer section before the buyer submits it to an AZ MVD office or authorized third-party provider.

Arizona Odometer Disclosure Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Confirm the vehicle requires disclosure: model year 2002 or newer and GVWR at or under 16,000 lbs.
- Note the exact odometer reading on the day of the transaction.
- Select the correct certification on the Arizona title: 'Actual mileage', 'Exceeds mechanical limits', or 'Not actual mileage'.
- Seller completes, signs, and dates the odometer disclosure section on the front of the Arizona title.
- Buyer countersigns to acknowledge the disclosed mileage.
- Make photocopies for both parties before submitting the title.
- Complete the title transfer within 15 days to avoid an Arizona late-transfer penalty.
Common Pitfalls
- Thinking an 'as-is' sale waives odometer disclosure — it does not. Federal law applies to every non-exempt transfer regardless of sale language.
- Not selecting a certification type. All three choices exist for a reason; blank boxes are grounds for rejection at the MVD counter.
- Overlooking the 15-day title-transfer deadline in Arizona — penalties accrue quickly.
- Using white-out or correction fluid on the title. Any alterations render the Arizona title void and require a replacement title before transfer.
- Assuming a high-mileage vehicle's odometer reading is too obviously high to require disclosure — the law does not make exceptions for high-mileage vehicles.
Arizona Odometer Disclosure Bill of Sale — FAQs
Is a 2001 Chevrolet truck exempt from odometer disclosure in Arizona in 2026?
Yes. A 2001 model-year vehicle is exactly 25 model years old in 2026 and qualifies for the federal exemption. Disclosure is not legally required.
What should I do if the odometer has rolled over past 99,999 miles?
Select 'Exceeds mechanical limits' on the title and record the current reading. This is the correct certification for an odometer rollover — do not select 'Actual mileage' for a rolled-over odometer.
Can I write an odometer disclosure in the bill of sale instead of on the title?
No. Arizona, like all states, requires the disclosure to appear on the title itself for the transfer to be valid. A bill-of-sale odometer statement alone does not satisfy federal or state requirements.
What penalties face an Arizona seller who falsifies the odometer reading?
Federal criminal penalties: up to $10,000 fine and/or 3 years imprisonment per violation. Civil: the buyer may recover triple damages, minimum $1,500, plus attorney's fees under 49 U.S.C. § 32710.
