Sell Your Vehicle Privately in South Dakota: Clear Steps for a Confident, Profitable Sale.
Read the South Dakota Seller Guide
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.
Yes. A Bill of Sale is required for all private vehicle sales in South Dakota. It serves as a legal receipt and proof of the purchase price, which determines the excise tax the buyer will pay. You should use the official Bill of Sale (Form 1025). 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.
You cannot legally sell a vehicle without a title in South Dakota. If yours is lost, stolen, or damaged, you must apply for a duplicate title using the Application for Duplicate Certificate of Title (Form 1002). 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. This is a critical step for your protection. You should file a Seller's Report of Sale (Form 1010) with your local County Treasurer's office within 15 days of the sale. This form officially notifies the state that you have sold the vehicle, protecting you from liability for any parking tickets, abandoned vehicle fees, or accidents that occur after the vehicle leaves your possession.
No. South Dakota does not require a safety inspection or emissions testing for private vehicle sales. You are selling the car "as-is," meaning you generally don't have to provide a warranty.
No. Private sellers do not collect sales tax. The buyer is responsible for paying the 4% motor vehicle excise tax directly to the County Treasurer when they apply for a title and register the vehicle in their name.
In South Dakota, 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 keep the plates to transfer to another vehicle you own, or turn them in to the County Treasurer.
