How to Fill Out a Bill of Sale in Nevada

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

Nevada's fill-out surprise is what's NOT owed: private-party vehicle sales carry no sales tax — the DMV's own guidance says sales tax is not charged on person-to-person sales, family sales, or gifts (dealer purchases are taxed; private ones aren't). So Form VP 104's price field documents the deal rather than setting a tax bill. What Nevada does enforce: the SELLER files the resale notification — online only, within 5 days — and the buyer titles within 30 days, budgeting registration fees plus the annual Governmental Services Tax instead of sales tax. Fill the VP 104 with parties, vehicle, VIN, odometer, price, date, both signatures; smog check applies to most gasoline vehicles in Clark and Washoe counties only — the rural counties skip it.

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 Nevada DMV will notice.
2

Buyer Information

  • Full legal name
  • Current mailing address
  • City, state, ZIP code
  • Phone number (optional)
Tip: Buyers: use your legal name as your ID shows it; the DMV matches this document against identification at transfer.
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: Take the VIN from the car, compare it to the title, and only then write it down — VIN typos are the most common reason transfers fail.
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)
Tip: Nevada has no state sales tax on vehicle sales, so no tax calculation is needed.
5

Seller Signature

  • Seller's signature (must match title)
  • Printed name
  • Date signed
Tip: Signing is the whole ceremony in Nevada; no seal, no witness, no appointment. What matters afterwards is that each side keeps an original.
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

Is there really no sales tax on a private car sale in Nevada?
Really — the Nevada DMV does not collect sales tax on private-party vehicle sales, family sales, or gifts. Dealer sales are taxed (roughly 8.1%–8.375% combined depending on county), which is where the confusion comes from. Private buyers pay registration fees and the annual Governmental Services Tax.
What is the seller's 5-day online duty?
Filing the Vehicle Resale Notification at dmvnv.com within 5 days of the sale — Nevada only accepts it online. It records the sale date and ends your liability for what the buyer does next.
Who needs a smog check in Nevada?
Buyers registering most gasoline vehicles (1968+) in Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno) — the rest of the state has no emissions requirement. New vehicles and hybrids have partial exemptions.
Is Form VP 104 mandatory?
It's the DMV's official bill of sale; an equivalent private document is also accepted. Either way the buyer presents it with the signed-over title within 30 days.
