A Utah bill of sale documents a transaction involving the transfer of property from a seller to a buyer. It proves that an individual or entity acquired ownership on a specific date at an agreed-upon purchase price. Soon-to-be vehicle owners are advised to request a bill of sale from the seller upon the exchange of payment. In doing so, they are afforded proof of ownership that can be used when titling and registering the vehicle, and it may prove useful when calculating the amount of sales tax due. Regardless of the type of property being transferred, a complete and signed bill of sale is a practical tool for demonstrating ownership.
