Arizona car sale requirements

Arizona's ADOT provides a vehicle bill of sale (Form 96-0236) for private party transfers. Arizona does not require a bill of sale by law, but it is recommended to protect both parties. The buyer must title the vehicle within 15 days of purchase at an MVD office or authorized third-party provider. Arizona does not charge sales tax on private party vehicle sales, but the buyer pays a vehicle license tax (VLT) at registration. The bill of sale should include the VIN, sale price, odometer reading, and both parties' contact information.
