To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the title. In Arizona, the seller's signature must be notarized to be valid. You can find notary services at most banks, credit unions, and authorized third-party MVD providers throughout Yuma County. Once you have the signed and notarized title, take it to an MVD office (located in Yuma and San Luis) or an authorized third-party provider to complete the transfer and register the vehicle in your name.
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 exemption applies to casual sales between private individuals, making private purchases potentially cheaper than dealer sales.
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 an MVD office, 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-8, Highway 95, or local roads.
