The title is the most critical document in the sale process. To prepare it correctly:
Sign and Date: As the seller, sign the back of the title exactly as your name appears on the front. Enter the date of the sale and the current odometer reading in the designated spaces.
Release Liens: If your vehicle has an outstanding loan, the title will list a lienholder. You must pay off the loan and obtain a formal lien release from the lender before you can legally transfer the vehicle.
Application for Texas Title (Form 130-U): Both you and the buyer must complete and sign the Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U). This form records the sales price and is mandatory for the buyer to register the vehicle.
Yes. Because Addison is located in Dallas County, specific emissions regulations apply.
Emissions Inspection: Vehicles registered in Addison (Dallas County) are required to pass an annual emissions test. While a safety-only inspection is not required for non-commercial vehicles in this county, the emissions test is mandatory for registration.
Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR): Provide the buyer with a copy of the current Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR) showing the vehicle has passed. They will need this document to complete the title transfer at the tax office.
No, the seller is generally not responsible for paying sales tax or registration fees.
Buyer's Responsibility: The buyer is responsible for paying the 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax. This is calculated based on the higher of the actual sales price or the Standard Presumptive Value (SPV) of the vehicle.
Registration Costs: The buyer also pays all title application fees and registration costs at the Dallas County Tax Office.
A bill of sale is not legally required by the state of Texas, but it is highly recommended for your personal protection.
What to Include: A comprehensive bill of sale should include the vehicle’s VIN, year, make, model, final sale price, transaction date, and the full contact information and signatures of both parties.
Why It Matters: This document serves as a receipt and a contract, which can be vital if disputes arise later regarding the vehicle's condition or the terms of the sale.
Yes. In Texas, license plates are assigned to the owner, not the vehicle.
Remove Plates: You must remove the license plates from the vehicle once the sale is final. You can transfer them to another vehicle you own or surrender them to the local tax office.
Registration Sticker: Be sure to remove the registration sticker from the windshield as well, as it is linked to your specific plates.
To officially release yourself from liability for the vehicle, you must notify the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV).
Vehicle Transfer Notification: Submit a Vehicle Transfer Notification (Form VTR-346) online through the TxDMV website immediately after the sale.
Liability Protection: Filing this form within 30 days protects you from being held responsible for parking tickets, toll violations, or criminal activity involving the vehicle after it leaves your possession.
The most effective way to ensure the transfer is legally completed is to accompany the buyer to the tax office.
Visit the Tax Office: Go with the buyer to a Dallas County Tax Assessor-Collector branch to submit the title application. This ensures the vehicle is removed from your name immediately.
