To transfer ownership, you must complete the "Assignment of Title" section on the back of your Certificate of Title. You need to:
Enter the buyer's full legal name and address.
Fill in the exact odometer reading.
Enter the date of the sale and the purchase price.
Sign and print your name exactly as it appears on the front of the title.
Do not use white-out or erase mistakes. Any alterations can void the title, requiring you to apply for a duplicate before you can complete the sale. If the title lists more than one owner with "joint tenancy with rights of survivorship" (often indicated by "JTWROS"), all owners must sign.
You cannot legally sell a vehicle without a title in Colorado. If yours is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must apply for a duplicate title using the Duplicate Title Request and Receipt (Form DR 2539A). If there is a lien on the vehicle, you must pay off the loan first. The lender will then release the lien, allowing you to obtain a clear title to sign over to the buyer.
Yes, in many cases. If the vehicle is registered in the "Automobile Inspection and Readjustment (AIR) Program area" (which includes the Denver metro area and parts of the Front Range), you must provide the buyer with a valid emissions certificate at the time of sale. The certificate must be recent, typically issued within the last 90 days.
Yes. You may not need a new emissions test if:
The vehicle is less than seven model years old.
The vehicle is a collector's item (model year 1975 or older).
The vehicle is all-electric.
You are selling to a family member (parent, sibling, child, spouse, or grandparent).
While the title acts as the primary transfer document, a Bill of Sale is highly recommended and sometimes required by the county clerk. It serves as a legal receipt and proof of the purchase price. You should use the official Bill of Sale (Form DR 2173). This document must include:
The vehicle's year, make, model, and VIN.
The purchase price and date of sale.
The full names and signatures of both the seller and the buyer.
Both parties should keep a signed copy for their records.
No. Private sellers do not collect sales tax. The buyer is responsible for paying all applicable state, county, and city sales taxes directly to the County Clerk and Recorder's office when they title and register the vehicle.
In Colorado, the license plates belong to the seller, not the vehicle. You must remove your license plates before the buyer takes possession. Do not let the buyer drive away with your plates. You can transfer the credit from those plates to another vehicle you own, or return them to the DMV.
