How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Nebraska

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

Nebraska's fill-out detail that trips out-of-towners: the paperwork lands at a county treasurer, not a state DMV counter — and the current DMV page says titles may be issued in any county — so pick the office before the ink dries. Complete a bill of sale — the DMV's own Bill of Sale form is optional: parties, vehicle, VIN, odometer, true price, date, both signatures, no notary. The buyer has 30 days to title and pays Nebraska's 5.5% state sales tax plus local rates on the recorded price, along with the motor vehicle tax and fees Nebraska assesses at registration. The seller's habit worth keeping: keep a signed bill-of-sale copy, since Nebraska's county-based system means your proof of handover is your own paperwork.

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: Write the name exactly as the ownership record shows it — the Nebraska DMV compares the two before processing anything.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: Whatever name goes here is the name the DMV will expect on the buyer's registration — decide it now, not at the counter.
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: The 17 characters must match the title exactly; copy them from the vehicle itself (dash or door jamb) rather than from a listing.
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: the buyer pays Nebraska tax at registration (5.5% sales tax)
Tip: Enter what actually changed hands in this Nebraska sale, and make sure both signed copies show the same figure.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature (must match title)
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: There's no notary step in Nebraska — once both parties sign, the document is done. Store your copy somewhere you'll still find it in five years.
6

Buyer Signature

  • Buyer's signature
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Both parties keep a signed original — print or write the document twice and sign both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which office handles a Nebraska title transfer?
A county treasurer's office — the current DMV page says titles may be issued in any county — and that's where the title application, the 5.5%-plus-local sales tax, and registration fees are processed, within 30 days of the sale.
Is the Nebraska DMV's bill of sale form mandatory?
No — the Nebraska DMV offers its Bill of Sale as a courtesy and says using it is optional; a private document with the same fields is also accepted. What is required is that the seller gives the buyer a bill of sale or a completed DOR Form 6.
What does the buyer pay beyond sales tax?
Nebraska's annual motor vehicle tax and registration fees, assessed at the same county treasurer visit — those are based on the vehicle's MSRP-derived value and age rather than your negotiated sale price, so they don't change with the bill-of-sale figure.
Does Nebraska require notarization?
No — for an ordinary private sale of a Nebraska-titled vehicle, signatures of both parties are sufficient on the bill of sale and the title assignment. A notarized bill of sale is needed only in special cases, such as some antique vehicles and storage or repair lien sales.
