Oregon Car Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Prepare a written bill of sale with VIN, year, make, model, odometer, sale price, buyer/seller names and addresses.
- Seller signs the title over to buyer.
- Seller completes online "Notify DMV of Sale" at Oregon DMV website (releases seller liability).
- Buyer takes title + bill of sale to Oregon DMV within 30 days.
- Buyer pays title fee ($98) + registration fees — NO sales tax.
Common Pitfalls
- Seller forgetting to notify DMV of sale online — they remain liable for parking tickets and accidents if they don't.
- Thinking there is hidden "use tax" — Oregon genuinely has no sales or use tax on private vehicle sales.
- Missing the 30-day title transfer window.
- Oregon out-of-state buyers: if you buy in OR and bring the car to a sales-tax state, you may owe that state's use tax.
