Oregon Form 735-501 — Bill of Sale

Oregon DMV publishes an official Vehicle Bill of Sale — Form 735-501. You are not locked into the state form: DMV accepts any written bill of sale that carries the same information, but it will not process one that is missing the VIN, a statement releasing interest in the vehicle, the seller's printed name and signature, or the date of sale. Oregon charges no sales tax on private vehicle sales.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Oregon have an official bill of sale form?
Yes — Form 735-501, the Vehicle Bill of Sale, published by Oregon DMV. A separate document with the same information is equally valid; DMV lists the minimum contents it can process: VIN, a release-of-interest statement, the seller's printed name and signature, and the date of sale.
Does Oregon have sales tax on vehicle purchases?
No. Oregon has no state sales tax, so there is no tax owed on a used private-party vehicle purchase. A 0.5% vehicle privilege/use tax applies only to new vehicles sold by dealers.
When is a bill of sale required in Oregon?
Whenever the seller's name is not on the title — for example, when the vehicle changed hands informally before the paperwork caught up. Sellers may also sign a bill of sale in place of the title's transfer section. In every other sale it is still the buyer's best proof of price and purchase date.
How long does the buyer have to transfer the title?
Thirty days from the date of sale. Oregon adds a $25 late fee for transfers made 31–60 days after the sale and $50 after 60 days. The title fee itself is based on the vehicle's MPG rating: $101 (0–19 MPG), $106 (20–39), $116 (40+), or $192 for all-electric vehicles.
