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 (Washington-specific)

Washington does not have a dedicated family-transfer title form or a separate statutory procedure for family vehicle transfers. The use-tax exemption available on a gifted vehicle — requiring that the prior owner paid Washington retail sales tax or use tax and that no consideration is exchanged — applies equally to transfers between immediate family members per DOR guidance under RCW 82.12 and WAC 458-20-178. If those conditions are met, use tax is waived. A vehicle with an outstanding loan where the recipient assumes the debt does not qualify; the assumption is treated as consideration. Enter $0 or 'gift' on the Vehicle/Vessel Bill of Sale (Form 420065) and indicate the family relationship. The seller must notify DOL within five business days (RCW 46.12.650). The recipient must apply for a new title within 15 days (RCW 46.12.650). No new plates are required for transfers from a spouse, family member as gift or inheritance, or from a qualifying trust.
