The combined sales tax rate is 7.10%. Notarization is not required for a private vehicle bill of sale in this jurisdiction.

Payment documentation requirements

The bill of sale should state the exact cash amount paid and note that payment was received in full. If payment is made via cashier's check or money order rather than physical currency, note the instrument type and issuing bank on the document. Large cash transactions of $10,000 or more must be reported to the IRS by the receiving party using Form 8300, as required by the Bank Secrecy Act.

How cash sale affects title transfer

In a cash sale, title should transfer simultaneously with payment — a "concurrent closing." The seller should sign the back of the title over to the buyer only after confirming that funds are in hand. Do not accept personal checks as cash equivalents; a bounced check does not undo the title transfer in most states.
