Family transfer — What You Need to Know
The vehicle is transferred between immediate family members. Many states offer reduced or waived sales and use tax for qualifying family transfers.
Seller guidance
Identify whether your state's DMV has a specific family transfer exemption form or requires a relationship affidavit. Qualifying relationships vary by state but typically include spouses, parents, children, siblings, and grandparents. Keep the bill of sale simple and clearly state the relationship.
Buyer guidance
Even if no money changes hands, you will owe use tax on fair market value in some states unless you qualify for the family exemption. Bring your relationship documentation (marriage certificate, birth certificate) to the DMV when re-registering. The title transfer process is otherwise the same as a standard sale.
Legal note (Massachusetts-specific)
Massachusetts exempts intra-family vehicle transfers from the 6.25% sales/use tax, provided the transferee is a spouse, parent, child, brother, or sister and the transferor previously paid Massachusetts sales or use tax on the vehicle. Use Form MVU-26 (Affidavit in Support of a Claim for Exemption from Sales or Use Tax for a Motor Vehicle Transferred Within a Family). The MVU-26 exemption eliminates both the sales tax and the $25 gift fee. Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, and cousins do not qualify for MVU-26; those transfers must use MVU-24 and pay the $25 gift fee if no consideration is exchanged.

- Bring proof of relationship (birth certificate or marriage certificate) to the RMV
- Transfers to grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, or cousins do not qualify — use MVU-24 with $25 fee instead

Mill Creek Family transfer moped pdf — when to file
Massachusetts requires title transfer within 10 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For family transfer transactions specifically, file at Massachusetts DMV – Mill Creek (Visit https://www.mass.gov/orgs/massachusetts-registry-of-motor-vehicles to find the nearest Mill Creek office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (verify hours with local office). Miss the 10-day window and Massachusetts 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 Mill Creek bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $75.00 title transfer fee plus 6.25% sales tax on the purchase price.
PDF reminder. Whether you keep your pdf as a signed digital PDF, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at Massachusetts DMV – Mill Creek; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
