To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the Arizona Certificate of Title. A critical requirement in Arizona is that this signature must be notarized to be valid. Naco is very small, so you will likely need to travel a few miles north to Bisbee to find a notary at a bank, shipping store, or the county administrative offices. Once signed and notarized, take the title to the MVD office in Bisbee to complete the transfer.
While not legally mandatory for the Arizona MVD to process a title transfer, a Bill of Sale is highly recommended. It serves as your official receipt and protects both you and the seller from future disputes about the sale price, date, or vehicle condition. It should include the VIN, vehicle details, sale price, date, and signatures of both parties.
Generally, no. private party vehicle sales in Arizona are typically exempt from the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT), which is the state's equivalent of sales tax. This rule applies to casual sales between private individuals.
To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the title. In Arizona, this signature must be notarized to be valid. You can find notary services at local businesses in Naco or in nearby Bisbee. Once you have the signed and notarized title, you will need to take it to a nearby MVD office (the closest are typically in Bisbee or Sierra Vista) or an authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
Although you are exempt from sales tax, you will be responsible for paying registration fees and the annual Vehicle License Tax (VLT) when you title the car in your name at the MVD. The VLT is based on the vehicle's assessed value.
In Arizona, the license plate stays with the seller. Plates are registered to an individual, not the vehicle. The seller is required by law to remove their plate before you take possession of the car. Do not drive the car with the seller's plates on it.
To drive your newly purchased car home or to the MVD in Bisbee, you must get a "Restricted Use 3-Day Permit." This temporary permit can be easily purchased and printed online through the AZ MVD Now website. This is essential for legally driving on Naco Highway or nearby State Route 92.
