Bill of Sale Required for Transferring Vehicle Titles Beginning January 1, 2020

Effective January 1, 2020, the Benton County Treasurer's Office will require customers to provide a bill of sale when transfering titles to motor vehicles between private parties.  A bill of sale or purchase agreement is already required froma  dealership.

The Iowa State County Treasurer's Association (ISCTA) inconjuction with the Iowa Department of Revenue (IDR) aim to substaniate vehicle purchase prices, which have a direct impact on the fees that are remitted to the State's Road Use Tax Fund.

Many counties already require a bill of sale between private parties and are allowed to do so pursuant to section 321.13 of the Iowa Code.  Benton County will join other counties and require a bill of sale effective January 1, 2020.  The Bill of Sale should include the seller's name, make, year, VIN of the vehicle along with the buyer's name, date of sale, purchase price and seller's signature.

Please check the "Special Closings" and "Holiday Closings" at the end of the "Office Hours Section" below for more information.
