- Title Application
South Dakota requires a bill of sale for vehicle sales. Unlike many states, motor vehicles in South Dakota are subject to a 4% motor vehicle excise tax (instead of the general state sales tax). The buyer has 45 days from the sale date to apply for title and pay the excise tax at the county treasurer's office; interest and penalties accrue after the 45-day window.
Notarization is not required but is recommended for high-value transactions. Both parties should retain copies of the bill of sale.
