A properly completed title is essential to transfer ownership legally.
Sign and Date: As the seller, you must sign the back of the title exactly as your name is printed on the front. Fill in the date of the sale and the vehicle's current odometer reading in the designated sections.
Clear Any Liens: If you have an existing loan on the vehicle, the title will show a lienholder. You must pay off the loan and obtain a lien release from the lender before you can legally sell the car.
Complete Form 130-U: You and the buyer must fill out and sign the Application for Texas Title and/or Registration (Form 130-U). This form documents important details like the sales price and is necessary for the buyer to register the vehicle.
Yes, because Carrollton is in Dallas County, a specific inspection requirement applies.
Emissions Inspection: Carrollton requires an annual emissions inspection for most vehicles. While a separate safety inspection is not required for non-commercial vehicles in Dallas County, the emissions test is mandatory for the new owner to complete the vehicle's registration.
Provide the VIR: You should give the buyer a copy of the current Vehicle Inspection Report (VIR). This document serves as proof that the car has passed the necessary inspection, and the buyer will need it at the tax office.
No, the seller does not pay the sales tax. This is the buyer's responsibility.
Sales Tax: The buyer is required to pay a 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax. The tax is calculated on the higher of two amounts: the vehicle's actual sales price or its Standard Presumptive Value (SPV).
Other Fees: The buyer is also responsible for all title transfer fees and registration costs, which are paid at the Dallas County Tax Office.
While not legally mandatory in Texas, creating a bill of sale is a highly recommended step for your protection.
What to Include: A thorough bill of sale should list the vehicle's year, make, model, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). It also needs to state the final sales price, the date of the transaction, and include the full names, addresses, and signatures of both you and the buyer.
Why It's Important: This document acts as a formal receipt of the sale. It can be crucial in protecting you from future disputes regarding the vehicle's condition or the terms of the sale.
In Texas, license plates are registered to the owner, not the vehicle.
Remove Your Plates: Once the sale is finalized, you must remove your license plates from the car. You can then transfer them to another vehicle, return them to a TxDMV office, or destroy them.
Remove the Registration Sticker: Remember to also remove the registration sticker from the windshield, as it is tied to your license plates.
Informing the TxDMV that you no longer own the vehicle is a vital step for your legal protection.
File a Vehicle Transfer Notification: Go to the TxDMV website and file a Vehicle Transfer Notification (Form VTR-346) immediately after the sale.
Protect Yourself: Filing this notification within 30 days helps protect you from liability for any parking tickets, toll bills, or crimes associated with the vehicle after it has been sold.
