About the General Bill of Sale

A general bill of sale is a flexible transaction document for the sale of personal property that does not fit into a vehicle-specific category. It is used for furniture, electronics, tools, farm equipment, musical instruments, sporting goods, and countless other personal property transactions. Unlike vehicle bills of sale, general bills of sale are not used for DMV title transfer — they serve as a private receipt and proof of ownership change.

When to Use This Form

Use the general bill of sale for any personal property sale not covered by a specialized form. Common uses include: power tools, farm equipment, musical instruments, electronics, antiques, jewelry, livestock (non-equine), and commercial equipment.

Legal Tip

For high-value items, describe the property in as much detail as possible: brand, model, serial number, age, condition, and any included accessories. This level of detail is critical if a dispute arises about whether the item received matches what was sold.

Fields Included in This Form

  • Item Description (required)
  • Serial/ID Number (if applicable) (optional)
  • Condition (required)
