Free Wyoming Car Bill of Sale
A Wyoming car transfer is a two-desk errand at the county courthouse: the county CLERK issues the Certificate of Title, and the county TREASURER collects the flat 4% sales tax — identical in all 23 counties — before the vehicle's first registration in Wyoming. There is no central DMV branch for private transfers, no inspection of any kind, and no local tax variation to compute. Handle both desks in one courthouse visit (clerk first, treasurer second) and the whole transfer resolves in an afternoon; the bill of sale's exact date anchors the 45-day title window.
