Tennessee Vehicle Bill of Sale Form
Tennessee has no numbered general-purpose bill of sale form — any written bill of sale works, submitted at the county clerk's office where all Tennessee titling happens. Form RV-F1301201 is often mislabeled as "the" Tennessee bill of sale; it is actually the Affidavit of Non-Dealer Transfers, used only for tax-exempt transfers between lineal relatives or for gifts and genuinely low-price sales — not an ordinary arm's-length sale.
