Kansas TR-312 — Bill of Sale

Kansas Form TR-312 is the Division of Vehicles' general-purpose bill of sale for private motor vehicle sales, used at county treasurer or tag offices to document the sale price. Do not confuse it with Form TR-12, which is a specific affidavit for antique or no-title vehicles rather than a general bill of sale — the two numbers are frequently swapped on third-party sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it Form TR-312 or TR-12 in Kansas?
TR-312 is the general bill of sale for an ordinary private sale. TR-12 is a narrower affidavit used for antique or no-title vehicles. Many third-party sites mix them up — if you are told to use TR-12 for a normal car sale, that is the wrong form. Any written bill of sale with the required fields is also accepted.
Who pays the tax in a Kansas private sale?
The buyer, and only the buyer — Kansas treats these as "casual sales," so the seller never collects or remits tax. The buyer pays at the county treasurer's office when titling, at 6.5% state plus local rates that vary by county and city.
Does a trade-in reduce the tax in Kansas?
Yes, but only if it is documented. If you hand over a vehicle as part of the deal, the tax is calculated on the difference — and both values must be written on the bill of sale or an attached statement. Leaving it off can cost hundreds of dollars.
Does Kansas require a VIN inspection?
Only for vehicles coming in from another state, performed by the Kansas Highway Patrol before the vehicle can be titled in Kansas. In-state sales of an already Kansas-titled vehicle do not need one, and Kansas has no emissions or periodic safety inspection program.
