West Virginia DMV-7-TR — Bill of Sale
West Virginia publishes an official bill of sale — Form DMV-7-TR (Bill of Sale for a Motor Vehicle, Trailer, or Boat) — and the form is printed "NOTARY IS REQUIRED." Notarization specifically applies when you buy from an individual for less than 50% of the vehicle's NADA Clean Loan Book value; then the notarized bill of sale must accompany the DMV-1-TR title application and the 6% tax is figured on NADA value. WV titling tax is 6% (a flat $30 for sales under $500).
