Informational purposes only

All content on this site — including state guides, bill of sale templates, checklists, and fee information — is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, financial advice, or tax advice. Vehicle sale laws vary by state and change over time; information on this site may not reflect the most current requirements.

Always verify requirements directly with your state's DMV before completing a vehicle transaction. We provide links to official DMV resources for this purpose.

No warranty

CarByOwner provides this site and its content "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the information is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose. You use this information at your own risk.

Affiliate link disclosure

This site contains affiliate links. When you click certain links and make a purchase or sign up, we may receive a commission. This does not affect the price you pay. We only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely useful. See our Affiliate Disclosure for complete details as required by the FTC.
