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.
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, 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 I-40 or Route 66.
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 banks, shipping stores, or business centers along Route 66. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to the local MVD office in Williams or an authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
Always prioritize safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Good options in Williams include:
1. The parking lot of the Williams Police Department.
2. A busy location like the Safeway parking lot or a well-known gas station near I-40.
Before paying, carefully inspect the title document. Ensure the seller’s name on the title matches their government-issued ID. Critically, verify that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the title perfectly matches the VIN on the car’s dashboard and driver-side door jamb.
