Gresham Private sale utv printable — when to file

Texas requires title transfer within 30 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For private sale transactions specifically, file at Texas TxDMV – Gresham (Visit https://www.txdmv.gov to find the nearest Gresham office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (verify hours with local office). Texas TX does not require a notarized bill of sale; however, Form 14-317 (Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer) must be notarized. Miss the 30-day window and Texas 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 Gresham bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $33.00 title transfer fee plus 6.25% sales tax on the purchase price.

Printable reminder. Whether you keep your printable as a printed two-copy paper record, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at Texas TxDMV – Gresham; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
