How Do I Write a Utah Bill of Sale?

Writing a Utah bill of sale doesn't take much time. Regardless of the type of Utah bill of sale that you need, there's some general information you must include. The differentiating factor is in how the item is described. You'll learn how to properly describe the items for each commonly used bill of sale below. First, let's review the elements in each bill of sale.

• The amount of money given for the item, first in words and then in dollars. For example, two-hundred and fifty dollars and no cents ($250.00).
• The legal name of the buyer.
• The legal name of the seller.
• A description of the item.
• A certification by the seller that the item doesn't have any liens or other lawful claims to it by anyone and that the item is sold "as-is."
• The dated signature of the seller.

Utah General Bill of Sale

A Utah general bill of sale is used for items that aren't classified as a motor vehicle, boat, or gun. Examples of items you'd sell with this form include, but are not limited to, a bookcase, furniture, clothing, and used electronics. To describe the item, include the following information if it is available:

• A registration or serial number.
• The make, model, and year of the item.
• The size, color, or material the item is made from.

Utah Bill of Sale for a Motor Vehicle

A Utah bill of sale for a motor vehicle is provided by the Utah State Tax Commission. If you choose to write your own, you should include:

• The type of vehicle (such as a car, motorcycle, off-road vehicle, truck, etc.).
• The make, model, and year of the vehicle.
• The VIN.
• The license plate number.

The Utah State Tax Commission is very clear on their bill of sale that a bill of sale alone does not act as proof of ownership. You also need the title.

If the gun is part of a trade, make sure that you list the make, model, caliber, and serial number of every gun.
