Oregon Free Printable Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Produce the form (print or pen) showing the parties' full legal names and addresses
- Fill in the 17-character VIN alongside year, make, model, and mileage
- State the purchase price — while no sales tax applies, this documents the transaction
- Each side signs and dates the completed form
- Seller completes the assignment of title on the back of the Oregon certificate of title
- SELLER notifies Oregon DMV of the sale within 10 days (online through DMV2U); the buyer applies for title with Form 735-226 (Application for Title and Registration)
- 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 matters — failing to file it can leave 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 Oregon DMV's Application for Title and Registration, which the BUYER files to title the vehicle within 30 days. It is not a notice of sale: the SELLER separately notifies Oregon DMV of the sale within 10 days, online through DMV2U.
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 inside DEQ's testing boundaries in the Portland metropolitan area (parts of Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties) and the Medford area. Buyers registering inside these boundaries must pass the DEQ test before registering the vehicle.
How many copies should come off the printer?
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 the notice of sale.
