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 the county treasurer of the BUYER's county — not the seller's, not any office statewide — so the destination is fixed before the ink dries. Complete Form DMV-MB-232 (Nebraska's official bill of sale): 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: complete the notice-of-sale stub and 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: buyer owes 5.5% Nebraska sales tax on the sale price at registration
Tip: Enter what actually changed hands — the Nebraska DMV computes the 5.5% sales tax from it and challenges figures the market contradicts.
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?
The county treasurer in the BUYER's county of residence — 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 Form DMV-MB-232 mandatory?
It's Nebraska's official bill of sale and the smoothest choice; a private document with the same fields is also accepted. Either way the treasurer works from the price it records.
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 — signatures of both parties are sufficient on the bill of sale and the title assignment for a private sale.
