South Carolina Bill of Sale Requirements
Additional Forms Required in South Carolina
- Form 400 (Application for Certificate of Title and Registration)
South Carolina requires a bill of sale for private party vehicle transactions. The state replaces a traditional sales tax on vehicles with a 5% Infrastructure Maintenance Fee (IMF) that is capped at $500 — so the effective fee tops out at $500 for vehicles priced $10,000 or more, making South Carolina attractive for higher-value vehicle purchases.
The buyer has a generous 45 days to complete the title transfer at a SCDMV office using Form 400. Required documents include the signed bill of sale, vehicle title, and valid identification.
Notarization is not required, but both parties should sign the bill of sale. South Carolina does not require emissions testing for vehicle transfers.
