Free Oregon Free Printable Bill of Sale
Oregon has no state sales tax, so private vehicle purchases come with no sales tax obligation — making the process straightforward financially. Sellers must submit Form 735-226 (Notice of Sale) to the Oregon DMV within 10 days of the sale, and buyers must title the vehicle within the statutory window; Portland Metro area buyers may need a DEQ emissions inspection before registering.

Oregon Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Write or print a bill of sale with both parties' full legal names and addresses
- Include the 17-digit VIN, year, make, model, and odometer reading
- State the purchase price — while no sales tax applies, this documents the transaction
- Both buyer and seller sign and date the bill of sale
- Seller completes the assignment of title on the back of the Oregon certificate of title
- SELLER must submit Form 735-226 (Notice of Sale) to Oregon DMV within 10 days of the sale — this is mandatory
- Portland Metro area buyers must obtain a DEQ OBD emissions test before registering the vehicle
- Buyer applies for new title and registration at an Oregon DMV office
Common Pitfalls
- The seller's 10-day Notice of Sale obligation (Form 735-226) is mandatory — failing to file it leaves the seller liable for parking violations, tolls, and registration fees that accrue after the sale
- Oregon has no sales tax, but buyers in the Portland Metro DEQ area must pass an emissions check before the DMV will issue a new registration
- No notarization is required on the BOS or the title assignment
- Buyers should not delay the title transfer — while Oregon allows a short grace period, driving an untitled vehicle creates insurance and liability gaps
- Ensure the title is free of liens before completing the sale; a lien release must accompany the title if a lender is listed
Oregon Free Printable Bill of Sale — FAQs
Does Oregon charge sales tax on vehicle purchases?
No. Oregon has no general state sales tax, and vehicle purchases are not taxed at the state level. This makes private sales in Oregon very cost-effective.
What is Form 735-226 and who files it?
Form 735-226 is the Oregon Notice of Sale. The SELLER is responsible for filing it with the Oregon DMV within 10 days of the sale. It notifies the DMV of the transfer and releases the seller from future liability. It can be submitted online or by mail.
Is notarization required on an Oregon vehicle bill of sale?
No. Oregon does not require notarization of a private-party vehicle bill of sale. Signatures from both parties are sufficient.
Which areas require a DEQ emissions inspection?
Oregon's vehicle emissions testing (DEQ OBD inspection) is required in the Portland metropolitan area, which includes Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. Buyers in these counties must pass the DEQ test before registering the vehicle.
How many copies of the bill of sale should I print?
Print at least two signed copies — one for the buyer to present at the DMV when applying for a new title, and one for the seller to retain along with their proof of filing Form 735-226.
