Why use a Kentucky-specific UTV template
Captures every Kentucky field
A UTV bill of sale needs the chassis VIN, engine displacement, and OHV (off-highway vehicle) classification — many states issue an OHV decal separate from the title, and registration depends on whether the UTV is street-legal in that state. A generic template often omits Kentucky-specific fields (such as the TC 96-132 reference) and gets rejected at the registration counter.
Tax + fee aware
Kentucky charges 6% sales/use tax plus a $9 title transfer fee. Recording the correct sale price on the template is what the DMV uses to calculate tax owed.
Deadline-aware
The buyer has 15 days to register the UTV after the sale. The template includes a sale-date field that anchors the deadline.
What the Kentucky UTV template includes
- Buyer + seller full legal names and addresses (ZIP required)
- UTV identifier — VIN, HIN, or serial number

- Odometer / hour-meter reading (where applicable)
