About This Form

Covers: New Jersey Bill of Sale (No Official Form)

Agency: New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission

Purpose: Documents a private vehicle sale in New Jersey. The seller hands it to the buyer with the signed title; the actual purchase price, also written on the title, is what the 6.625% sales tax is paid on.

When required: The MVC tells private sellers to give the buyer a bill of sale with the signed title. Buyers must transfer the title at an MVC agency within 10 working days of the sale to avoid a $25 penalty.
