Ohio car sale requirements

Ohio uses the BMV 3724 form as the official vehicle bill of sale. While a bill of sale is not mandatory in Ohio for all vehicle sales, it is required when transferring a vehicle without a title or when the title is lost. Ohio requires an odometer disclosure on the title for vehicles under 10 years old. The buyer must transfer the title at an Ohio County Title Office within 30 days of purchase. Ohio does not require notarization for a vehicle bill of sale. The BMV 3724 form captures all required information including the VIN, year, make, model, and odometer reading.
