How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Mississippi

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

Mississippi gives you SEVEN WORKING DAYS — the shortest title-transfer window in the country — so the fill-out and the filing are effectively one event. Complete your private bill of sale (Mississippi publishes no official form): parties, vehicle, VIN, odometer, true price, date, both signatures. The buyer takes it with the signed-over title and Form 78-006 (the title application) to the COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR — Mississippi's title venue — and pays a uniform 5% use tax on the price, with no county or city add-ons anywhere in the state. Flat, predictable, fast: that's the whole Mississippi system, and the only thing that breaks it is treating the 7-working-day clock like the 30-day windows neighboring states allow.

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: The recorded owner's name is the only version that works here; anything else earns a correction cycle at the Mississippi DMV.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: Buyers, think one step ahead: the name entered here is the name the new ownership record will wear.
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: Treat the VIN as untrusted until confirmed twice: vehicle first, ownership papers second, and only then the form.
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 5% Mississippi sales tax on the sale price at registration
Tip: the 5% sales tax follows this line, and the Mississippi DMV knows what the vehicle is worth; the accurate price is also the fastest one.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature (must match title)
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Skip the notary hunt — Mississippi 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: Execute two originals — each party walks away holding a fully signed copy, not a photo of one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How serious is Mississippi's 7-working-day deadline?
Statutory and enforced with penalties — it's the tightest in the nation (working days, not calendar days, but still roughly a week and a half). The buyer should plan the tax collector visit before money changes hands.
Where does a Mississippi title transfer happen?
At the county tax collector's office — the same counter that handles Mississippi's vehicle taxes — with the signed title, your bill of sale, and Form 78-006 (Application for Certificate of Title).
What tax will the buyer pay on the recorded price?
A flat 5% Mississippi use tax — uniform statewide, with no county or municipal add-ons. One of the simplest vehicle tax structures in the country.
Mississippi has no official bill of sale — what makes mine valid?
Completeness: both parties' names and addresses, vehicle year/make/model, VIN, odometer, price, date, and both signatures. No notarization required.
