Ohio Vehicle Bill of Sale Form
Ohio publishes no official bill of sale form. BMV 3774 is the Application for Certificate of Title — the title form — not a bill of sale, a common mix-up. What transfers ownership in Ohio is the NOTARIZED title assignment, handled at the county Clerk of Courts title office (not the BMV). A written bill of sale still documents the price and odometer.
