What Is an Arkansas Bill of Sale?

An Arkansas Bill of Sale is a handwritten or typed document designed to assist residents of Arkansas in recording a legitimate agreement and transaction between the seller and the buyer of any personal property. Irrespective of the property being sold, you can use a bill of sale to have further proof of sale and purchase of personal property. Basically, the form certifies that the property is being sold in the current condition, does not come with warranties or guarantees, and now belongs to the buyer, with the seller no longer bearing responsibility for the item.

Types of Bills of Sale in Arkansas

2. An Arkansas Vehicle Bill of Sale is a document that details in writing a transfer of the vehicle from one party to another. Arkansas has two government-released forms for the entire state:
   • A form issued by the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration and used for vehicles claimed as a tax credit as a result of the purchase of replacement vehicles. The law allows the seller to receive a sales and use tax credit if a used motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer is sold within 45 days before or after the purchase of the new vehicle;
   • A State of Arkansas Vehicle Bill of Sale/Odometer Disclosure Statement. It is released by the same department and used for all other instances of vehicle transfer. It has to contain the mileage upon the transfer of ownership, as the federal and state laws require.
