How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Arkansas

A step-by-step guide to every field on a Arkansas vehicle bill of sale — with a free filled-in example you can download instantly.

Arkansas prices its used-vehicle tax in bands, which makes the price field on Form 10-313 unusually consequential at two exact thresholds: used vehicles under $4,000 pay NO sales tax at all, $4,000–$10,000 pays a reduced 3.5%, and above $10,000 pays the full 6.5% plus local rates. A $3,995 car and a $4,050 car are $150+ apart in tax — so record the true price and know which band it lands in. The transfer runs through the state revenue office (Arkansas's DMV equivalent), where the buyer has 60 days to title and register. Standard fill-out otherwise: parties, vehicle, VIN, odometer, price, date, both signatures — no notary needed, and Arkansas titles must stay alteration-free (correction fluid voids them).

Step-by-Step: Every Field Explained

1

Seller Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional but recommended)
Tip: Match the ownership document precisely: if the title says a middle initial, this line says a middle initial, or the Arkansas DMV will notice.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: The buyer's ID, this line, and the eventual registration should read identically — start the chain correctly.
3

Vehicle Description

  • Vehicle year (4-digit)
  • Make (manufacturer — e.g., Ford, Toyota)
  • Model (e.g., F-150, Camry)
  • Body style (e.g., sedan, pickup, SUV)
  • Color
  • VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) — 17 characters, found on the dashboard or door jamb
  • Odometer reading at time of sale
Tip: Read the VIN from the metal, not the ad: dashboard plate or door-jamb sticker, checked character by character against the title. One wrong character voids the transfer.
4

Sale Details

  • Sale price in US dollars (write out both numerals and words — e.g., "$8,500 — Eight thousand five hundred dollars")
  • Payment method (cash, check, electronic transfer)
  • Date of sale (month / day / year)
  • Note: buyer owes 6.5% Arkansas sales tax on the sale price at registration
Tip: An honest price line keeps the 6.5% sales tax simple; an implausible one hands the Arkansas DMV the valuation instead.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature (must match title)
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Skip the notary hunt — Arkansas treats the parties' signatures as sufficient. Retain the signed copies well past the sale.
6

Buyer Signature

  • Buyer's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Two originals, both fully signed, one per party — the cheap habit that wins later disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Arkansas's used-vehicle tax bands work?
By purchase price: under $4,000 — completely exempt from sales tax; $4,000 to $10,000 — reduced 3.5% state rate; over $10,000 — the full 6.5% state rate plus city/county taxes. The bands apply to used vehicle sales and are checked against the bill of sale price.
Where does the buyer transfer the title in Arkansas?
At a state revenue office within 60 days of the sale — bringing the signed title, Form 10-313 or equivalent bill of sale, proof of insurance, and (for registration) the county assessment and personal property tax verification Arkansas is known for.
What voids an Arkansas title?
Alterations — correction fluid, scratch-outs, or overwriting on the assignment. A spoiled title has to be replaced before the sale can complete, so fill it out slowly and in ink the first time.
Is Form 10-313 required?
It's the official template; any complete written bill of sale is also accepted at revenue offices. No notarization is required on either the form or the title.
