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.
