The current lessee is purchasing the vehicle from the leasing company at the end of or during a lease term. The leasing company (lessor) holds the title and must transfer it upon receipt of the buyout amount.
If you are the leasing company facilitating the buyout, prepare a purchase agreement, confirm the residual value or negotiated buyout price, and release the title upon full payment. Some lessors require a formal buyout application and may charge a purchase option fee.
Review your lease agreement for the purchase option price, any fees (purchase option fee, documentation fee, destination charges), and the dealer's role in the buyout. You can often arrange a lease buyout directly with the leasing company, bypassing the dealer. Compare the residual value to market value before deciding to purchase. Financing the buyout through your own bank may provide a better rate than the captive finance company.
Lease buyouts are governed by the lease contract and applicable state consumer protection laws. The federal Consumer Leasing Act (15 U.S.C. § 1667) requires disclosure of purchase option terms in the original lease agreement. Sales tax on a lease buyout varies by state — some states tax the full purchase price, others tax only the difference between the residual and any prior taxes paid during the lease. The title transfers from the leasing company to the buyer upon completion.

Before signing your leased buyout bill of sale in Layton, run a NHTSA recall check on the specific year and model. Recent-model suvs with the most open recalls:
| Model + year | NHTSA recalls | Top categories |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 Ford Explorer | 31 | Back Over Prevention, Power Train, Seat Belts |

Bring the signed title, the completed Layton bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $6.00 title transfer fee plus 7.15% sales tax on the purchase price.
