A Bill of Sale may only be used in rare cases to title a motor vehicle. If you purchased a vehicle in a private sale and the seller did not provide you with a title, you must obtain a court order. If your vehicle, watercraft, or manufactured home is valued at $5,000 or less, you may be eligible for the Affidavit of Ownership title application process.
