Odometer exempt — What You Need to Know
The vehicle is exempt from federal odometer disclosure requirements, typically because it is 10 or more model years old or has a registered gross weight over 16,000 lbs.
Seller guidance
Under 49 CFR § 580.17, vehicles that are 10 or more model years old are exempt from federal odometer disclosure. You still must not knowingly falsify mileage. Even if federally exempt, some states have their own mileage disclosure requirements — document the known odometer reading in the bill of sale regardless.
Buyer guidance
While the seller may not be legally required to provide a federal odometer statement, you should still request the actual mileage and note it in the bill of sale. High-mileage vehicles command lower prices, so confirming the reading protects you from misrepresentation claims later.
Legal note
49 CFR § 580.17 exempts vehicles 10 or more model years old from the odometer disclosure requirement of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act (49 U.S.C. § 32705). Gross-weight exemption applies to vehicles with a GVWR exceeding 16,000 lbs. Despite the federal exemption, knowingly falsifying mileage on any document is still fraud under 49 U.S.C. § 32709.

Burlington Junction Odometer exempt snowmobile template — when to file
Kansas requires title transfer within 60 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For odometer exempt transactions specifically, file at Kansas DMV – Burlington Junction (Visit https://www.ksrevenue.gov/dov.html to find the nearest Burlington Junction office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (verify hours with local office). Miss the 60-day window and Kansas typically charges a late-transfer penalty plus accrued use tax, and the seller can remain on the title for civil liability until the buyer completes retitling. Bring the signed title, the completed Burlington Junction bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $10.00 title transfer fee plus 6.5% sales tax on the purchase price.
Template reminder. Whether you keep your template as a blank template you fill in by hand, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at Kansas DMV – Burlington Junction; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
