A Florida bill of sale is a document used to legally document the sale and transfer of ownership of any valuable item, such as a vehicle, boat, or firearm. The form serves as proof of the transaction and outlines key details, such as the identities of both parties, a description of the item sold, the purchase price, and the date of the sale. Both the buyer and the seller sign the document, and in some cases, notarization may be needed for added legal validity.
Vehicles brought into Florida must be registered with the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) within ten days of establishing residency. Vehicle registration must be completed in person at a local FLHSMV office.
Use a vehicle bill of sale form to buy or sell a motor vehicle.
Use a boat bill of sale to transfer ownership of recreational water vehicles (such as motorboats, sailboats, yachts, and jet skis).
Use a trailer bill of sale to buy or sell a trailer (or any non-motorized vehicle pulled by another vehicle).
Use a firearm bill of sale to transfer ownership of a gun (such as a handgun, rifle, or shotgun).
Use a motorcycle bill of sale to transfer ownership of a motorcycle.
A bill of sale is required for vehicle transactions in Florida and recommended for other major purchases. While the state provides a sample form, you can create your own as long as it includes the necessary information.
